Textilmuseum St. Gallen in Gossau

Das Gebäude hat mir einfach gut gefallen. Die Bibliothek war geschlossen, es wurden nur moderne Produkte ausgestellt. Wo ist die Geschichte?(Translated by Google)I just really liked the building. The library was closed, only modern products were exhibited. where is the story

Very disappointed in todays visit. Very few exhibits and library was closed even though it was supposed to be open. I studied the web site ahead of time and expected much more.

Très intéressante exposition temporaire sur les nouvelles créations japonaises. Un vrai plaisir !

Schönes Museum mit einigen Informationen zur St. Galler Textilgeschichte, interessante Sonderausstellung. Immer mal sehenswert.(Translated by Google)Nice museum with some information about the history of textiles in St. Gallen, interesting special exhibition. Always worth seeing.

Wieder eine fantastische Ausstellung(Translated by Google)Another fantastic exhibition

Sehr schöne Ausstellung. Zu viel BigNik, zu wenig St.Galler Spitzen und Beispielkleider, Stoffe im Original. 3.Etage nicht begehbar.(Translated by Google)Very nice exhibition. Too much BigNik, not enough St.Gallen lace and sample dresses, fabrics in the original. 3rd floor not accessible.

The website is very misleading. Make sure you are aware of the exhibits they have. It’s interesting, but honestly not worth the money. The least they could do is offer a lower price for when they are changing exhibits. There was one very small exhibit, and one larger exhibit we went to. Both were very underwhelming.

Wir haben heute das Gebäude besucht und das Museum gesucht.St. Gallen hat eine sehr lange und interessante Textil historie. Den einzigen Bezug dazu findet man derzeit in einem modern gestalteten Video im 1. OG. Exponate von dieser bewegten Zeit sucht man vergeblich und der Zugewinn an Wissen ist leidet knapp über 0.Es tut mir leid es in so klaren Worte zusammen fassen zu müssen, aber "das war nix".(Translated by Google)We visited the building today and looked for the museum.St. Gallen has a very long and interesting textile history. The only reference to this can currently be found in a modern designed video on the 1st floor. You will look in vain for exhibits from this eventful time and the gain in knowledge is just over 0.Im sorry to have to summarize it in such clear words, but "that was nothing".

Unfortunately I didnt see the exhibitions shown in the review and only spent less than 1 hour finishing the visit. The ticket was interesting (a piece of fabricwith a cost of CHF 12.

Très décevant, 12 CHF pour rien.

Vergognoso ..... 12 franchi ... E scoperto alluscita che merletti nn ce nerano.....per problemi organizzativi ......🙈🙈

Most disappointing museum Ive ever been to.***update***Answer to response from the owner:Yes, of course. I expected to see garments and some history about the (Swisstextile industry, an evolution or why Switzerland/St.Gallen was important for the textile industry. Why did I expect that? Thats what I understood from searching on Google/your website/blog articles before my visit and what was shown in the brochure I got at the entrance of the museum.What I did not like:There was not a single garment on display. There were only 3 exhibition halls and on top of that the same types of textiles were shown in each hall (only 5). Of course, there were several types of textiles on display on the big patchwork quilt, but there was no explanation. What I especially did not like is that the temporary Japan exhibition was not an addition, but rather the only thing on display, not a Swiss textile to be found.An ideal textile museum in my opinion, shows the visitor different kinds of textile techniques and lets the visitor experience them (e.g. feel them), shows what different thicknesses of the textiles mean, shows what the advantages and disadvantages are for each kind in the making of the textile itself, the making of the final product, the use of it (e.g. some fabrics are better for carpet, others for clothesand the recycling/sustainability and the sustainability choices one can make. Or it can start with a special garment and go back in (Swisshistory.I hope this can help you in your future work.

Very small exhibition, only 2nd floor was open with only two rooms to visit.

Nice opening of Nuno exhibition

Vorübergehend war nur der erste Stock und das Parterre zugänglich. Aber dieser eine Raum im ersten Stock hatte es in sich : eine reich dokumentierte Geschichte der Stickerei von St. Gallen und Umgebung war zu sehen mit sehr schönen Exponaten, Fotos, Wandbildern, Videos, Audio-Berichten aus der Vergangenheit und über verschiedene Themen, Geräuschen der Maschinen, einer Time-Line vom Jahr 823 bis heute. Ich bin begeistert.(Translated by Google)Temporarily only the first floor and the ground floor were accessible. But this one room on the first floor had it all: a richly documented history of embroidery in St. Gallen and the surrounding area was on display with very beautiful exhibits, photos, murals, videos, audio reports from the past and on various topics, sounds of the machines, a time-line from the year 823 to today. Im excited.

Le 2è étage était fermé en raison dun changement de thème dexposition temporaire ce 11.2.22. Entrée 1/2 prix. Mais globalement déçu du contenu des objets présentés.. Nous nous attendions à quelque chose de plus spectaculaire en lien avec limportance de la ville dans ce secteur.

Ist vielumfassend und immer wieder sehr interessant. Vieles zur textilen Vergangenheit der Stadt. Ist hier erhalten.(Translated by Google)Its comprehensive and always very interesting. A lot about the textile past of the city. Is preserved here.

Very interesting museum located 7min from the main train station. One does not always know that St. Gallen is famous for its textile history. The museum is not very large but very pleasant. The architecture is cool to see. The iron work of the staircase looked like lace which is also a specialty of St.Gallen. The temporary exhibit we got to see was about Women in power. It was an interesting topic that highlights our prejudices towards females and males. There are loom demonstrations as well but do check the timings. Furthermore if you get the chance to see the Textile library have a go at it. It think it would be fascinating to see. (Check the schedule). The lady at the reception was very friendly. Cool place to visit.

Lexposition temporaire sur les robes politiques est très intéressante. De mon point de vue, le musée en lui-même à un intérêt limité à part la partie qui explique lorigine des différents textiles tout en haut ...

Sehr interessant(Translated by Google)Very interesting

Einmal mehr wurde der Besuch zum Erlebnis. Ganz besonders interessant war die sympathische, spannende Führung durch die Ausstellung "Frauen Macht Mode". Toll, dass es das Angebot gibt! Ich freue mich jetzt schon auf den nächsten Besuch.(Translated by Google)Once again, the visit was an experience. The sympathetic, exciting tour of the exhibition "Women Power Fashion" was particularly interesting. Its great that the offer is there! I am already looking forward to the next visit.

Das Museum hat sehr interessante Ausstellungsstücke und ist definitiv einen Besuch wert. Die Stofftickets sind eine tolle Idee und die Dame am Ticketverkauf war super freundlich!(Translated by Google)The museum has very interesting exhibits and is definitely worth a visit. The fabric tickets are a great idea and the lady at the ticket office was super friendly!

Que des descriptions en allemand. Sinon c’était trop bien

Das Museum liegt zu Fuss ca 5 min vom Bahnhof St. Gallen entfernt in einem wunderschönen Haus. Im EG befindet sich eine alte Stickmaschine welche an bestimmten Tagen im Einsatz steht. Im 1. OG ist die Dauerausstellung und die Textilbibliothek und im 2. OG sind Wechselausstellungen. Alle Ausstellungen sind sehr spannend - wirklich ein Besuch wert!(Translated by Google)The museum is located in a beautiful house about 5 minutes walk from the St. Gallen train station. There is an old embroidery machine on the ground floor which is used on certain days. The permanent exhibition and the textile library are on the 1st floor and temporary exhibitions are on the 2nd floor. All exhibitions are very exciting - really worth a visit!

Die Zirkusausstellung war wunderbar! Ich habe meine Tante, die selbst beim Zirkus war, mitgenommen und wir waren beide begeistert. Ein tolles Erlebnis!(Translated by Google)The circus show was wonderful! I took my aunt, who was in the circus herself, and we both loved it. A great experience!

Molt maco

Dommage quil ny ait pas plus dexplications en français. Mais malgré tout, cest un incontournable de Saint-Gall à faire absolument. Laccueil est vraiment très chaleureux et convivial et en français parfait. Cela nous plonge bien dans lhistoire de la dentelle saint-galloise.

Leuk om in de citytrip mee te nemen.

Magnifique rétrospective sur le textile depuis les débuts il y a plus de mille ans. A visiter sans faute.

Est ce vraiment un musée ?2 salles d’exposition un peu désuètesUne visite à faire pour les accros du tissus.

Sehr schön gestaltetes Museum; sehr informativ, unbedingt genügend Zeit einplanen.(Translated by Google)Very nicely designed museum; very informative, be sure to plan enough time.

Immer wieder schön, auch für Ur-St.Galler. Die Circus Knie Ausstellung ist fantastisch, aber auch der allgemeine Teil begeistert. Super freundliche und kompetente Mitarbeiter!(Translated by Google)Always beautiful, even for Ur-St.Galler. The Circus Knie exhibition is fantastic, but the general part is also enthusiastic. Super friendly and competent staff!

Tolle Knie-Ausstellung. Herzliches Personal das Kinder bestens motivieren kann, die Clown-Kostüme selber zu probieren. Ein überaus gelungener Ausflug mit unseren Enkeln. Übrigens: Sehr moderate Eintrittspreise.(Translated by Google)Great knee exhibition. Warm staff who can motivate children to try the clown costumes themselves. A very successful trip with our grandchildren. By the way: Very moderate entrance fees.

Knie Kostüme, wau(Translated by Google)Knee costumes, wow

Beautiful small museum with very nice costumes.

Kleines Museum, mit netter Zirkus Knie-Ausstellung. Die Kostüme waren sehr schön anzusehen. Es war sehr sauber, das Personal sehr freundlich. Die Stoff-Eintrittskarten sind eine nette Idee.(Translated by Google)Small museum, with nice circus Knie exhibition. The costumes were very nice to look at. It was very clean, the staff very friendly. The fabric tickets are a nice idea.

Tolle Ausstellung der Knie Kostüme.(Translated by Google)Great exhibition of knee costumes.

Kann ich nur empfehlen.(Translated by Google)I can only recommend.

kleines Museum aber durchaus unterstützenswert - wir konnten leider nur die dauerausstellung sehen die aber recht nett gemacht ist, gut hat mir gefallen dass man viele Stoffe „erfühlen“ konnte:)(Translated by Google)Small museum but definitely worth supporting - unfortunately we could only see the permanent exhibition, which is quite nicely done, I liked that you could "feel" many of the materials :)

It is a popular destination for textile enthusiastic.

Interessante, da visitare!

Uns hat es super gefallen, die Stickmaschine war sehr faszinierend. Die Ausstellung sehr interessant!(Translated by Google)We really liked it, the embroidery machine was very fascinating. The exhibition is very interesting!

Attribuisco una stella in piu di quelle che merita perchè il giorno in cui labbiamo visitato aveva lingresso gratuito, altrimenti non vale la spesa. Il museo è tutto racchiuso in una stanza, con un foglio disponibile in varie lingue che racconta brevemente la storia del ricamo in svizzera e alcuni esempi di ricami a mano e a macchina. Possibilità di toccare con mano alcune stoffe, esperienza tutto sommato carina, adatta piu a scolari che ad adulti. Mostra temporanea al secondo piano su i tessuti tecnici, cose interessanti in mostra e spiegazioni sulle varie fibre, ottima anche questa per scopo didattico.

Great museum that focuses on the textile history of St. Gallen. On several levels there are various exhibitions. A special focus shall be taken on the old embroidery machine in the first floor. This is great technology that totally related to the uprising wealth of the city of St. Gallen during the textile revolution.

Die Ausstellung war ansprechend präsentiert. Es gab viel sehenswertes zu betrachten und ich habe vieles gesehen, das ich so noch nicht wusste.(Translated by Google)The exhibition was well presented. There was a lot to see and I saw a lot that I didnt know before.

Sehr interessante und abwechslungsreiche Ausstellung für jung und alt von traditionellem, lokalem Handwerk bis High-tech.(Translated by Google)Very interesting and varied exhibition for young and old from traditional, local handicrafts to high-tech.

Sehr interessant! Viel neues erfahren.Riesige Bibliothek mit Bücher über Textilien zum Ausleihen. Sehr zu empfehlen!(Translated by Google)Very interesting! Experience a lot of new things. Huge library with books about textiles for rent. We recommend!

Sobre, épuré, mais plaisant à visiter.

Very disappointing. We were expecting to see many more things related to St. Gallen textile. The Exhibition concept is unclear - pretty boring for kids as well for adults.Far too expensive for what it is.
