Visit Poland: Łódź

The last part of Re3 Grundtvig learning partnership took place in Poland, in the 20th to 24th of May 2015. Our partner OWOP had arranged us an interesting four-day programme, during which we learned about textile heritage, culture and organizations activating citizens, mainly in Białystok and surroundings.

But the first day we visited the the textile museum iŁódź: famous and perhaps the biggest in Europe. This huge and inspiring museum showed several exhibitions on history, on contemporary textile art or arranged after theme (like jacquard, carpets, fashion..).
