Museum Het Leids Wevershuis

Leiden, Netherlands

Museum Het Leids Wevershuis consists of one of the last remaining "weavers' homes" in Leiden, Netherlands. The exterior, the large antique loom (1830) and the interior, are testimony of the once flourishing textile industry (and trade) around Leiden, in particular during the 16th and 17th century, when many home weavers supplied the draper's guild with high quality woolen cloth.
