On 3 October, it’s that time of year again – night owls in the Mühlviertel can set off on a discovery tour of Haslach’s museums from 6 pm and uncover all sorts of things along the way.
Look forward to special guided tours, music, dance and a varied programme of hands-on activities for the whole family. From self-playing musical instruments and fascinating looms to textile materials to touch and explore – a Museum Night full of discoveries!

What happens to old clothes – and what can they become?
The special exhibition “MIST! Rethinking Textile Waste” explores textile waste, recycling, and sustainable ideas. With our new Exhibition Exploration programme, students discover creative solutions and learn how seemingly useless waste can be transformed into new ideas and products.
Complementing the exhibition exploration, our new workshops invite students to get creative, make things themselves, and experiment. In “Trash Makes Fashion”, students use leftover materials to create imaginative outfits, while “Let’s Twist!” gives old T-shirts a new lease of life by turning them into cords and keyrings.
Alongside our new workshops, we continue to offer age-appropriate guided tours and a wide range of workshops for students from Grade 1 onwards. With different themes and durations to choose from, the programme can be tailored to suit each school class.
Please note: The Exhibition Exploration of the special exhibition “MIST!” is only available to book until 4 April 2027.

The international Summer Symposium TEXTILE KULTURE HASLACH 2026 takes place under the motto Rethinking Textile Waste. It revolves around current issues related to overproduction and recycling, questions the handling of fast fashion and production waste from the textile industry, and focuses on ideas that view waste as a valuable resource.
In two exhibitions, different facets of this extensive topic are explored. The show “MIST! Rethinking Textile Waste” in the special exhibition space of the Textile Center Haslach explains the background of various types of textile waste, presents innovative recycling ideas, and provides forward-looking examples of contemporary design that demonstrate how leftover materials can be transformed into valuable resources.
In the second exhibition, “TWIST – Art from Waste”, free and experimental works are presented across the eight floors of the Haslach church tower.
