It is located on the main artery of Łódź, Piotrkowska Street, next to the Władysław Reymont Park.

This idea was not realized until 2002, when two architects, Anita Luniak and Teresa Mromlińska, won a tender for the design.

The collected objects are typical representatives of architecture in Łódź at the turn of the 19th-20th century.

These specimens include a church (transported from Nowosolna), a summer villa (transported from Ruda Pabianicka), a one-storey house for workers (from Mazowiecka Street), a wooden tram-stop (from Zgierz) and four craftsman's houses (from Żeromskiego, Mazowiecka and Kopernika Streets).

Additional elements such as lamps, wells, signs with street names, complete the reconstruction of life at that time.
