Presentation
Located in the charming Château de l’Églantine in Jouy-en-Josas, the Musée de la Toile de Jouy brings to life the legacy of the famous Jouy Manufacture, founded in 1760 by Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf, a visionary entrepreneur and printer.
Created in 1977 in the very town where Toile de Jouy was born, the museum celebrates this emblem of French textiles — a painted or printed cotton fabric, also known as *indienne* — while carrying forward the values of its creator: entrepreneurship, humanism, and openness to the world.
Since 1991, the museum has been housed in the Château de l’Églantine, bearing witness to the quality and expertise of the Oberkampf manufactory, active from 1760 to 1848.
Its collections bring together nearly 10,000 pieces from the 18th century to today: painted and printed fabrics, sample books, drawings, gouaches, paintings, costumes, furniture, bed linens, as well as various tools and mechanisms linked to printing techniques. The production of Jouy-en-Josas is represented, alongside other French centers (Normandy, Alsace, Provence) and foreign ones (Great Britain, Italy).
In 2022, the Musée de la Toile de Jouy inaugurated its new historical exhibition spaces dedicated to the 18th and 19th centuries. This immersive journey into the Oberkampf manufactory (1760–1843) and its 30,000 printed motifs invites visitors to step into interiors inspired by the Oberkampf family — a bedroom, a study, and a music room — and discover how printed textiles were used in furnishings. To complement the visit, an interactive digital installation familiarizes visitors with this remarkable textile heritage.
The permanent collections highlight the history, printing techniques, and use of Toile de Jouy in both clothing and interior decoration. With the support of the Friends of the Musée de la Toile de Jouy, the museum regularly acquires new pieces — textiles, objects, costumes — from both the time of Oberkampf and contemporary creators. Many artists, publishers, and designers draw inspiration from Toile de Jouy to create their collections, contributing to the influence of this heritage. The permanent exhibition showcases the incredible creativity of the era’s designers through floral, geometric, and figurative motifs, while also presenting the evolution of printing techniques: wooden blocks, copperplates, and copper rollers. Reconstructions featuring pieces from the French National Furniture Collection evoke Oberkampf’s private world as a true visionary.
