Learning, fun and entertainment are not contradictions. The Textilfabrik Cromford (Textile Mill) communicates more vividly than any book can, what work and life were like 200 years ago. During guided tours, activity-oriented workshops or project weeks – all matched to different sized groups, performance levels and school types – the children and adolescents develop a wide-range of competence. After all, the aim is to acquire knowledge about historic facts relating to the start of industrialisation.
How was cotton processed more than 200 years ago? Girls and boys try out the different work-steps involved in cotton processing. The machines operating in the museum clearly demonstrate the transition to industrial production in the 19th century.
