The Bolbec Textile Museum Workshop is a space dedicated to the preservation and transmission of local textile industrial history. Located in a building of the old Desgenwas family industrial site, this museum showcases techniques and tools related to cotton work, from raw materials to finished products. The initiative is led by the Bolbec association, which is made up of volunteers committed to the promotion of this artisanal and industrial heritage.
The museum is part of a historical context marked by the importance of the textile industry in Normandy, particularly in the Seine-Maritime. The Desgenwas factory, some of which now houses the museum, illustrates the key role of this economic activity for the city of Bolbec and its inhabitants. The site offers an immersion in the world of workers and know-how who have shaped local identity for generations.
Recognized as a place of memory and pedagogy, the Workshop-Textile Museum collaborates with heritage databases such as Mérimée, which refers to notable architectural elements. Its associative approach and territorial anchoring make it a major player in the preservation of Norman industrial heritage, while providing a tangible link to the past for visitors.
