The Rolling Mill WALCOWNIA is one of the largest museums in Poland. It offers visitors 5,000 m² of exhibition space in a former zinc rolling mill. It presents three main exhibitions:
History of non-ferrous metallurgy: It shows the development of the zinc industry. It includes melting furnaces, a heating furnace, a foundry carousel, rolling machines and sheet metal shears, supplemented by steam engines. It uses a vintage electric motor to showcase equipment in motion.
American Motorcycles: The museum has a collection of vintage Harley-Davidson and Indian motorcycles from 1920-1986, which are restored and technically functional. During "Machine Start-ups", vehicles are launched and presented to the public.
Jacob Pepping Collection - Stationary Combustion Engines: Contains over 100 historic stationary combustion engines from 1890-1960. The collection showcases the history of the design and use of the internal combustion engine, including petrol, diesel and medium-pressure engines.
