The Museum Industriekultur was opened in a former screw factory in 1988. Its exhibition focuses on the history of industrialisation, with an emphasis on everyday life and living conditions, public infrastructure, transport and energy. This museum is not about the ‘big story’. It tells smaller, more intimate stories about the industrial past of Nuremberg. A large section is devoted to locally built motorcycles - Victoria, Ardie etc. Additionally the the museum showcases several automobiles that were built in Nuremberg.

Günther Weissenseel grew up in postwar Franconia, surrounded by the region’s history. His youthful friendship with American soldiers grew into an avid interest in all things military. He collected documents, uniforms, weapons, trucks, tanks, even field kitchens. He gathered German, American and, later, Soviet relics wherever he could find them. In 1994, he and some friends created the Military History Club Franconia with the hopes of displaying some of the pieces he had gathered.

The museum association was founded in April 1991. In 2001 the museum was opened to the public. Today there are around 70 motorized two-wheelers and lot of memorabilia in the exhibition.

The MC Robur Zittau Club set up this museum in 1992, which is now showing cars and motorcycles made in the region
