The Royal Manufacturers De Wit is active in cleaning and conserving tapestries, mostly from international collections. They also buy and sell antique tapestries. 

They are established in a unique setting: the late 15th century refuge house of the Abbey of Tongerlo in the city of Mechelen where they show their prestigious private collection of tapestries.

You will be introduced to the fascinating world of the art of weaving: its history, techniques, weaving demonstration, conservation process, …. The historical building and garden will also be highlighted.
At specific times, when the conservation team is not at work, your tour will also include a visit to the workshop.
The tour lasts approximately 1,5 hours.
