About a month or so we visited the Textile Museum of Borås. Just one trip there totally made my entire exchange experience absolutely worthwhile. The amount of collections and preservation of the archives are orderly, neat and every articles handled with much care.
The photos will be devided into 2-3 posts as there are just too many that I've taken!
Here's a post of the underground archives. Felt a little like a dungeon, sort of. I was the only one taking photos in my class therefore fell behind and was locked inside here alone for under a minute. Kinda scary.
There are only 10-12 of us in my class. One of them looks like Diane Kruger and Agyness Deyn. See if you can spot them ;)

That's Malin on the left. She could be the sweetest looking girl I've ever, ever seen. Maybe a pic of her next time
