The exhibition Seven Centuries of Leiden Cloth (until January 2016) features a special presentation of the fabric 'Archive as fabric | fabric as archive' by textile designer Mae Engelgeer. In November 2015, her design was selected for New Leiden Cloth #2. With this design series, Museum De Lakenhal revives the old craft of making cloth.

Until 2018, a new designer will be selected each year. In the meantime, Museum De Lakenhal is preparing for a large scale restoration and expansion, starting in the Spring of 2016. From 2018, the fabrics will be on sale in the brand new museum shop. Christie van der Haak designed the first New Leiden Cloth.
Mae Engelgeer (1982) studied at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI) and the Sandberg Institute. With her strong yet refined graphic signature style, she managed to find herself a broad and international audience. In October 2015, Studio Mae Engelgeer took part in the Tokyo Design Week and in April 2016, she will be represented at the prestigious Salone del Mobile in Milan for the second time.
