Musée du Textile et du Peigne en corne Discover the fascinating history of traditional trades in Lavelanet

His visit is an invitation to travel, to the heart of matter and eras, from the Middle Ages to the 21st century.

The tour route is made up of spaces which allow you to understand all the stages of manufacturing a horn comb and a fabric in the preserved atmosphere and ambiance of one of the first cloth factories in Lavelanet, the "Dumons factory" which today houses the museum.

This visit allows you to understand how ancestral know-how has allowed manual, artisanal activities to become, over time, mechanical and then industrial activities through the evolution of the tools and machines on display and the evolution of the work and life of the people involved.

Each season, beyond its exhibitions and its permanent visitor route, the museum offers extensions to its visit with the help of a seasonal program rich in events and emotions : temporary exhibitions, times for stories and tales, moments of exchange and meetings, participatory and fun discovery trails for the pleasure of all, young and old, with family or friends and visiting while having fun.

This allows for varying rhythms and for everyone to find their own.
