felto Felt World Soltau
Felt is as old as humanity – and as sustainable as it is. As a pure natural product wool felt has existed for millennia in cultures around the globe. Synthetic felt is now equipped with ever new features.
What is the felto felt world?
felto – Felt World Soltau is a cultural institution about the fabric of felt. In a heritage-protected felt warehouse in the centre of Soltau's inner city, felto looks into the wide world of felting.
In
a historic warehouse on the Soltau pedestrian precinct there is an felt education
and experience centre, which combines a variety of functions in a novel way:
Museum and Science Centre - Monument and Innovation Centre - Market and Forum - Venue and Playground.
The
five floors in the main building of the felt world each have a clear,
individual profile:

....
with a bistro, a felt recycling shop with work tables for creative crafts, a
studio for felt artists and market stalls

with experimental stations on the characteristics of felt and with bridge that
leads from a walk-through Noah's Ark (to the genesis of felt) to a play
landscape made of felt

with work tables and interactive machines for manual and industrial felting,
units for the sustainability of felt, insights into business, industrial and
urban history as well as a "felt laboratory" for groups such as

with a world without felt that lets you experience how our world would rattle
without felt, with a huge box that displays works of art as well as technical
innovations made of felt, and its own exhibition area with Steiff scenes
Meeting
space

but not least, visitors can look forward to a viewing platform at a height of
