It seems to be under renovation still as it is part of the former textile factory. Not too many things to do and to see, there is running machines though.
The Skansen which is accessible thru the museum is closed but the wooden buildings look nice

The museum has an open air area, a Textiles exhibition and a textiles machinery exhibition ones.
The open air ex. is composed by several wooden houses dating from the 19 century brought there. They are filled with textile deco/machines (they were fi.. Read more »lled before with paper/printing deco/machinery when the museum was a paper history one) and an old church.
The textiles exhibition is quite interesting... and there was absolutely nobody visiting it... so very relaxing.
The machinery ex. is marked as "interactive" but DO NOT even try to touch anything cause the Sargent-like-acting woman who will follow you in every single step you take inside will scream "don't touch" (in polish of course, no English there) even when it says "interactive exhibition"... maybe the interactive part refers to a video shown on a steam power generator, or couple of kids games in a screen.. but this part needs to improve a lot. The machines have just their names ans a brief explanation of what they do but in terms that you NEED to know the process in order to understand it.. if not... they have no meaning.
