In the Factory Museum you can discover the history of the textile factory built by Israel
Poznański in the nineteenth-century industrial city of Łódź. In its prime, industrial empire became a self-sufficient district of the city with its own church, hospital, and residential area for the workers. Today, these historical buildings, restored and rejuvenated, make up the commercial complex of Manufaktura. Visiting the museum is a journey into the factory’s moments of past glory, when millions of metres of quality textiles were being produced.
Apart from exploring the creation and development of the factory itself, the exhibitions unveil the history of Pozanski’s rise to success, the technological process of producing cloth, and the everyday lives and of its employees. Multimedia presentations, documents, photographs, films, blueprints, charts, and product samples are all gathered here to give you an opportunity to experience the history of this unique place. You will see old looms at work, hear former workers reminiscing, and follow the long and arduous journey cotton goes through before it becomes cloth – from a plantation, through a factory, to a shop.
