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