LVR-Industrie Museum Tuch-Fabrik Müller
Euskirchen
There is a special museum in Euskirchen.
The museum has a difficult name.
It is called the LVR Industrial Museum.
The museum used to be a real factory.
The factory was called Tuchfabrik Müller.
And it belonged to Kurt Müller.
Something is made or manufactured in a factory.
Cloth was made in the Müller cloth factory.
Cloths are like fabrics.
These fabrics were then sold.
And the fabrics were used to make clothes.
Special machines were needed for this.
You can see these machines in the museum.
And also how the machines worked.
And what tools were needed.
You don't go through the museum on your own.
You have to take part in a guided tour.
A person from the museum will show you around the exhibition.
They will tell you a lot about the machines.
She also shows you:
How fabrics were dyed.
And how yarn was made.
You can also ask questions.
The museum is open at certain times.
The times are listed at the bottom of this page.
Or you can ask at the museum.
The telephone number is
0049 2 23 - 49 92 15 55
What else can you do in the museum?
You can watch movies.
The films show the factory of the past.
There are also hands-on activities.
Sometimes the steam engine is switched on.
And you can experience it:
How it works.
The steam engine is special.
It makes water hot.
Coal or wood, for example, is burned to do this.
The hot water produces steam.
The machine turns the steam into movement.
The machine is driven by the movement.
And the fabrics are woven.
