Vapor Buxeda Vell, Industrial heritage museum in Sabadell, Spain.

Located on Carrer de Sant Pau 117, this former textile factory exhibits industrial machinery and technological developments from the early 20th century.

Brothers Miquel and Domènec Buxeda constructed the building between 1852 and 1854, establishing sections for carding, spinning, and finishing processes.

The museum presents exhibitions about the transition from steam power to electricity, featuring a Wolf semi-fixed steam engine from 1908.

Educational visits and guided tours are available in multiple languages, with special programs designed for school groups and researchers.

The facility maintains original industrial equipment, including a functioning steam engine designed by engineer Francesc Izard i Bas in 1906.
