Iris Verhoeven, a Dutch textile artist interested in historical textiles and weaving, is creating an interactive digital map of over 400 textile-related locations across Europe. These include the following: weaving museums, exhibitions of tablet-woven finds, flax processing centres, textile displays, historical workshops, craft museums, artisan shops, fulling mills, and more.

There is a demo version of the map here – https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1gStkEYyqMP6i1kT9sV-spjlCkhJCGYE&usp=sharing

Definitely give it a look! While the demo doesn’t show museums in Ireland, it is interesting to explore museums in other European countries digitally. There is a National Wool Museum in Wales! Most listings have a paragraph or two describing what you might encounter when visiting.

Each listing is linked to its website and its location on Google Maps.

After exploring the map, she would appreciate users’ feedback – https://forms.office.com/r/z2ffiAcFem
