Factory Museum, Industrial heritage museum in Manufaktura complex, Łódź, Poland.
The Factory Museum occupies a preserved 19th-century industrial building and displays the cotton manufacturing process using working looms, steam engine models, and detailed historical exhibits. Visitors can observe the spatial layout and machinery arrangement typical of production operations from that era.
The museum occupies part of the former Poznański textile factory from the 19th century, which produced and exported cotton goods worldwide. The site was later adapted to serve as a museum, preserving the memory of this major textile industry center.
The exhibits reveal worker life through photographs of factory sports teams, bands, and daily routines from the industrial era. These personal documents show how people lived and worked in and around the mill.
A visit typically takes about one hour, and English language descriptions help visitors navigate the displays. The viewing terrace offers a good overview of the entire factory complex from above.
Four authentic looms still operate inside the museum, allowing visitors to see the mechanical processes of textile production firsthand. Watching this hands-on craft reveals skills that have largely disappeared from daily life.
