Marketed as a unique museum of tapestry & art textiles. There are 14 unique tapestries (stitches on canvas) & excellent, plus 4 others that are woven (warp & weft threads), very little else to see. Unless you speak French or Dutch don't bother, there are no translations & costs €6 admission. Very disappointing.

Not what I expected, very few tapestries on show, about 15. All documents in French or Dutch. I wanted to see examples of old works and details about how they were made. Entry 6 euros, concessions 5 euros.

This is a small museum dedicated to tapestries. From the plaque at the entrance to the museum, I was expecting exhibitions about tapestries in Tournai. It is, sort of. The museum exhibits a mixture of ancient and contemporary tapestries, plus some contemporary art. The three pretty much in equal parts. I was a little disappointed in that respect because it was more art than history. The antique tapestries were fantastic and tells the sometimes violent history of Wallonia, and were in remarkably good condition. The contemporary tapestries consisted mainly of an Marie Thumette Bruchard exhibition. Nice, but the themes were little too abstract for my personal tastes. There's very little information or description and virtually no English. I enjoyed the visit for the exhibits though. The museum was small enough to get through in 30 minutes, so the negatives were less of a hindrance. Had there been more information, of have given this museum an extra star.
