Visit | November 2009
Izrael Poznanski was a fabulously wealthy
industrialist with a taste for luxury. His
family home, a sight in its own right, also
houses a museum of the city's history. A
real insight into Lodz's formative years.

partying over the three fl oors and terrace.

Portraits of wizened faces, elegant
tablecloths and violins on the walls
