The museum is in a converted warehouse that was redesigned by Mexican architect
Ricardo Legorreta in collaboration with
Zandra Rhodes.[1][2] It was Legorreta's first and only building in Europe.[3][4] In addition to the exhibition space, the building has a textile studio, printing workshop, and private residential quarters.[2] The building has become a tourist attraction due to its colour scheme of hot pink, burnt orange, yellow, and bright blue.[1][2]
