## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

The Nam Định Textile Museum is built on the site of the former Nam Định Textile Factory, once the largest factory in Indochina.
The Nam Định Textile Museum was created in 2012 by the Vietnam National Textile and Garment Group (also known as Natexco) on the site of the former Nam Định Textile Factory. Located at 5 Hoang Hoa Street, Tham, Nam Dinh city, in the traditional housing area of the Factory, the museum has a French-style architecture.
The Nam Định Textile Factory was established by French colonists in 1898. During the French Occupation, the Nam Định Textile Factory employed over 18,000 people, about a tenth of the local population.
