Textiles shape people They paved the way for industrial design, provided important impulses for the development of modernism in art, today reflect the current themes of the environment and sustainability and are certainly drivers of innovation in interior design and architecture.

The Neue Sammlung owns important textiles and fabrics from the mid-19th century to the present. They not only embody the development of textile production as a craft and industry, but also show how the boundaries between art and design are gradually becoming blurred in this field. After all, textiles are particularly well suited to exploring the connection between material and aesthetics.

Industry - manufacture - art - design: these are the interlocking elements of the textile world that are illuminated in the exhibition. The presentation shows a poignant cross-section of the museum's magnificent collection and links it with contemporary positions from art and design. A look into the future shows the development of innovative fabrics that are of great importance in terms of social design and sustainability in terms of resources, manufacturing processes and recycling. However, three-dimensional weaving also underlines the visionary potential of textiles.
