The Forssa region has plenty of attractions and interesting places to visit. In the town centre, you can admire historical red-brick buildings and enjoy lush urban parks. The highlight of your trip could be taking an unforgettable steam train ride on the museum railway, seeing domestic animals on the heritage farm.
Welcome to the Forssa region!
The Pattern Centre is home to our museum's collection of printed textiles. The space is divided into an exhibition space, museum shop, archive, and research facilities.
The new exhibition tells the story of Finnish textile printing, an industry that began in Forssa in the 1860s. Forssa maintained its status as a focal place of printmaking know-how and design, through the age of industrial textile printing in Finland, and continued onwards from the 1930s as an important part of Finlayson Co.
Permanent exhibition includes information, illustrations, and photographs of designers and their time as well as printed textiles, made into textile installations. These installations have been created to showcase different styles and decades of Finnish printed textile design. You can learn about color layering, color theory, and textile printing in our exhibition that invites you to touch, feel and try for yourself!
