The Chemnitz Museum of Industry (Sächsisches Industriemuseum Chemnitz) – experience industry in transformation: the listed factory buildings on Zwickauer Straße have been an industrial production site since as long ago as the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Where cast parts for machinery in Germany and abroad were once manufactured in the modern foundry of Hermann and Alfred Escher AG, artefacts in the Chemnitz Museum of Industry now bear witness to the spirit of invention and entrepreneurship of Saxon firms from the beginning of industrialisation through to the present.

The museum also stages several special exhibitions every year. The Chemnitz Museum of Industry belongs to the Saxon Association of Industry Museums, along with three further museums and technology monuments.
