LVR Industrial Museum, Industry museum network in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

The LVR Industrial Museum spans seven locations throughout the Rhine region, each focusing on different manufacturing sectors including textiles, paper, and metalworking.

Founded in 1984, the museum network preserves industrial facilities from the region, including the Textilfabrik Cromford, continental Europe's first water-powered cotton spinning mill.

The museum locations present machinery demonstrations, manufacturing processes, and exhibitions that detail the working conditions of Rhine industrial laborers through centuries.

Museum sites operate Tuesday through Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM and weekends from 11 AM to 6 PM, with guided tours available upon reservation.

The Solingen location maintains an operational drop forge where visitors observe the traditional manufacturing methods of scissors and blades in the original workshop setting.
