Central Museum of Textiles (White Factory)

The Central Textile Museum (Centralne Muzeum Włókiennictwa) is located at Piotrkowska 282, in the so-called White Factory of Louis Geyer. It contains all aspects of textile production down to the products. The exhibition area covers around 5,000 m². The museum is divided into several departments: tapestries, industrial textiles, folk textiles, fashion, technology, exhibition organization, library and archives, and education. The latter has the task of bringing children and young people in particular closer to the development of the textile industry, especially in Łódź. The beginnings of the museum date back to 1952, when Krystyna Kondratiukova started a collection in the Art Museum. Due to the rapidly growing size, it was run in 1960 as an independent "Museum of Textile History" and in 1975 as the Central Textile Museum with Kondratiukowa as director. Source: Wikipedia
