Deafening noise and clattering of machines, the smell of heated grease, huge rooms with hundreds of looms, such were the Łódź weaving mills at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The exhibition not only shows the scenery, but also the daily, extremely difficult and demanding work of a weaver. The display of running machines usually makes a great impression on the visitors, even more so by the stage design elements of the exposition – large format photos of a big 19th century weaving mill.
Compared to modern machines, the looms were not technically complicated, and the simpler the device, the more work a man had to do, and the more skilled he had to be. This work required experience and concentration - the weaver had to perform all tasks quickly and confidently.
At the Machines In Motion exhibition are six looms from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and two looms from the 1970s.
The presentation of machines in motion starts every half an hour, starting from the Museum’s opening.
