The Gasworks Museum, housed in the old gasworks from 1902, is unique in Europe.
The impressive exhibition, covering an area of almost 11,000 ft2, contains Europe’s largest collection of gas meters, lamps and wall lamps, household appliances and industrial equipment. You can see here, among other items, a beautiful coffee roaster, gas counters produced from the 19th century up to the current day, old cast-iron lamps, gas stools, refrigerators, irons and fireplaces. Despite the passage of time, most of the exhibits are still technically operational. Noteworthy is the documentation of the old classic gas works and collection of posters advertising the gas and gas appliances. The modern complex of the museum, exhibition and training centre, combines both tradition and modernity. The newly built pavilion hosts a conference hall and guest rooms. To meet the demands of modern tourists, it is now possible to visit the Gasworks Museum in the form of a quest. The game, in the form of a gas quest, begins on the square between the administration building and the gas tank. Along the path you can see the production line for the city’s gas as well as the gas equipment, which many years ago was used in households and factories. The correctly deciphered clues, thorough observation and scoring points will help you to find the Gasworks treasure at the end!
