Weaver’s House Museum

Weaver's House is a branch of the Museum in Bielsko-Biała. It is a two-story wooden house with a so-called high ground. From the 18th century it housed a cloth workshop. Inside the building, a factory with weavers' work tools and a residential part were recreated. Furniture, household appliances, home furnishings and folk costumes from the Bielsko-Biała region were collected here.

The weaver's house is the only surviving wooden building in Bielsko-Biała. Miraculously he survived the great city fire. Until the early 20th century, it housed a cloth factory, which dates back to the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. The last owner, Wiktor Polończyk, donated the building to the museum in 1974.

Launched in 1994, the exhibition shows what the life of the clothier looked like in Bielsko-Biała at the end of the 18th and 19th centuries. Looms, as well as documents and guild books as well as souvenirs of the cloth guild were gathered here. The second part of the house are living rooms with a stove, nineteenth-century furniture and household appliances. In the attic are displayed folk costumes from around Bielsko-Białe and Żywiec.
