Manufaktura
A commercial and cultural complex converted from Poznański's red-brick textile mill, combining shopping, museums, dining and a grand square.
Manufaktura was converted from the vast factory complex of Izrael Poznański, a 19th-century Jewish textile magnate. It opened in 2006, and the red-brick factory buildings have been preserved in their original form. The central square is about 300 meters long, with a city beach in summer and an ice rink in winter. The complex includes the Łódź Factory Museum, the ms2 Museum of Modern Art, an experimental science centre, and the Andel's Hotel, housed in a converted old factory building. The Poznański Palace is nearby. Entry is free, shops are generally open from about 09:00 to 22:00, and a tram runs directly there.
