The Musée de la Toile de Jouy opens its doors to the curious this Saturday, May 13, 2023, for the 19th edition of Nuit des Musées. Discover the program!

The Toile de Jouy may sound familiar, but do you really know what it is? Take advantage of the 19th Nuit des Musées to get to know this piece of Yvelines heritage. Head for the Musée de la Toile de Jouy on Saturday, May 13, 2023, for an evening of unusual discoveries.

This unusual museum reveals all the secrets of the cotton fabrics printed in Jouy-en-Josas, from 1765 to 1843, at the Oberkampf fabric factory. The museum displays printed fabrics and all the equipment used to print them, as well as the antique designs used to create the characteristic Jouy fabrics, with their red or violet motifs on an ecru or bistre background. Today, the museum houses over 10,000 objects from this period.

The museum is also worth a visit for its architecture: located in the Château de l'Eglantine, this 19th-century building has undergone a chaotic history, and today presents a great diversity of styles.
