Founded in 1889, De Wit is a world leader in the conservation and restoration of ancient tapestries for museums. The company also holds a leading position in the market for ancient tapestries, both in terms of trade with museums as with private individuals. Today, the fifth generation leads a team of some twenty weavers, restorers, experts and dealers in tapestries, all driven by excellence in the art that is so characteristic of the region.
The Royal Manufacturers De Wit is located in the Refuge of the Tongerlo Abbey (1484) where it presents a collection of tapestries from the beginning of the 15th century to the present.
Discover the workshops, exhibition rooms and the building, a national heritage site, during an inspiring guided tour on Saturday April 12 at 3 PM. Followed by an apéro.
