town history and West African collections in a historic villa on Muzealna Street
For children
Where to go in Żory when it rains? To the Municipal Museum in Villa Haering, the Fire Museum or the Twinpigs western town.
Two museums are a safe indoor choice, while the third place is a family theme park, so in heavy rain it is better to start with the museums.
The Municipal Museum in Żory is housed in the historic Haering Villa on Muzealna street. It shows the history of the town and the region, plus a department of West African cultures unusual for a town of this size. The council resolved to create the museum in 1996 and it opened on 28 December 2000.
The Fire Museum is a multimedia exhibition on humans and fire, in a building shaped like a flame, opened on 3 December 2014. The theme is no accident, since the town burned more than 30 times in its history. Ideas for families appear in an article on indoor places for rainy days with children.
Twinpigs is a family theme park in the style of the American Wild West, with cowboy shows, aimed mainly at children aged 3 to 10. The park is stylised scenery rather than a hall, so in a downpour the museums are the better choice.
The two museums are the safest: the Municipal Museum in Villa Haering and the Fire Museum.
Mainly children aged 3 to 10. More ideas for bad weather are in the categories rainy day in Żory and rainy day in Silesia.
