The museum of the production of matches in Częstochowa

The Museum of Match Production is housed in a former factory in Częstochowa and displays the complete manufacturing process from raw wood to finished product. The exhibition includes historical machines, tools, and packaging materials from various production stages.

The factory was founded during the period when matches became a mass product and was for a long time one of Poland's major production sites. It set new standards in industrial manufacturing and contributed to the city's economic development.

The displayed machines and tools show how important match production was to the working life of the region. Visitors see today how this craft shaped the daily lives of generations.

The museum is best visited on weekdays and requires time to carefully view the exhibition. A guided tour helps you understand the different production steps and provides deeper insight into the work processes.

The museum functions not just as an exhibition space but the factory still actively produces matches using traditional methods. This is one of the few places in Europe where you can see historical craft in actual operation.
