Museum of Industrial Culture

Description

The Museum of Industrial Culture occupies a former screw factory building from the Julius Tafel ironworks and displays exhibits related to technology and society across a large interior space. The rooms are arranged so visitors can understand the layout of a historical factory and see different work areas.
