Cotton, wool, and hides — the history of Katoen Natie begins with the trade in these raw materials. The exhibition “3,500 Years of Textile Art” introduces visitors to the world of textile art in ancient Egypt, the Near East, and Central Asia. Clothing, accessories, and archaeological artefacts illustrate this story in detail. The highlight is the Tunic Gallery, which presents the largest collection of complete tunics in the world.
