PATTERN CENTRE

Our newest exhibition space, The Pattern Centre opened its doors at the end of April 2022.

The Pattern Centre is the home of our museum's collection of printed textiles. The space is divided into an exhibition space, museum shop, archive, and research facilities.

The new exhibition tells the story of Finnish textile printing, an industry that began in Forssa in the 1860s. Forssa maintained its status as a focal place of printmaking know-how and design, through the age of industrial textile printing in Finland, and continued onwards from the 1930s as an important part of Finlayson Co.

Off-season hours: Tue-Fri 10-16 (Sat-Sun upon request)
