Historical museum adjacent to the Manufaktura mall, housed in the impressive palace of 19th-century textile baron Izrael Kalmanowicz Poznański. The opulent interior is a clear indication of the Poznańskis' wealth: it's bedecked with elaborate dark-wood wall panelling, delicate stained-glass windows and a suitably grand ballroom. Despite the exhibitions taking a back seat to the building, they're nonetheless interesting, covering Łódź's history, the Łódź ghetto, and famous Łódź citizens including pianist Artur Rubinstein, writer Jerzy Kosiński and poet Julian Tuwim.
