Match Production Museum
Muzeum Produkcji Zapałek
A rare match factory museum in Europe that keeps its original machinery and demonstrates a century-old match production line.
The museum is housed in an old match factory completed in 1881. The factory produced matches until 2010, making it one of the few match industry heritage sites in Europe with a fully preserved production line. Visitors can watch demonstrations of the original machines in operation and learn the whole process, from wood to matchbox. They can also try making a matchbox themselves, which makes it good for families. The museum is part of the Silesian Industrial Heritage Route. Admission costs about 20 złoty. It is closed on Mondays and is a 15-minute walk from the railway station.
