Sebastian Kucharski, the creator, began the project as a hobby, transforming scrap metal into art before it grew into a permanent exhibition.
Some sculptures in the collection weigh hundreds of kilograms, requiring reinforced bases for display.
The artistic process involves welding and grinding techniques that retain the original identity of the mechanical parts, such as visible gear teeth or engine valves.
The museum is strategically located near Moszna Castle, a historic 17th-century palace often cited for its 365 rooms and 99 turrets.
The Fabryka Robotów (Robot Factory) is a specialized museum showcasing elaborate sculptures constructed entirely from recycled automotive parts and industrial scrap metal. Located on the grounds of the Moszna Castle complex, the collection features life-sized figures, including robotic versions of famous pop-culture characters and original designs. The sculptures are crafted using discarded gears, spark plugs, chains, and car body panels sourced from salvage yards. The museum serves as an example of upcycling art, where industrial waste is transformed into intricate mechanical figures. Many of the larger installations are interactive, allowing visitors to get close to the craftsmanship.

Bring a camera with a macro lens to capture the fine details of the welds and the individual mechanical parts used in the construction.
Plan your visit to coincide with a tour of the adjacent Moszna Castle to make the most of the site.
The exhibit space is partially outdoor and partially sheltered, so check the weather before arriving.
Do not touch the sculptures, as many have sharp edges from the welding and cutting of industrial metal.
Closed on Mondays throughout the year; seasonal hours may apply during winter months.
