If you are interested in history and manufacturing, and you would love to see the evolution of appliances, this free museum at the Gütersloh Headquarters of Miele. This 111 year old company started out with butter churners and cream separators and eventually moved to washing machines, motorcycles, and vacuums. As you walk through this small exhibit, you walk through history. Not only do you get to see the progression of machines, you also get to see some of the marketing materials. The golden age of advertising is represented from the 50s and 60s. If you are looking to kill and hour, or really love seeing history, this is for you.

I stumbled on this gem museum on my morning walk in Gütershol. Washing clothes have come a long way from the boiling hot water to washing modern machines today. They had past and present washing machines, dryers, vacuums, bicycles and a classics car. Oh oh oh cool wicker chairs you sat down and played music to rest on your busy days. This place is located East side of town and worth checking out.

Extremely friendly staff members. My son had a wonderful experience

Great place and nice to see history of Miele, thank you

Wonderful piece of history. Amazing discoveries like the Miele automobile and bike. Relax atmosphere, well presented. Certainly worth a stop if you are in the neighborhood.

One of the best experiences that you can have in Gutersloh

Informative. Friendly staff. It's free.

Fantastic to see how it all began right through to now

From wheelbarrows and ladders, to motor bikes and cars, to washing machines and high-tech kitchens ... a complete gamut of technical innovations. Beautifully restored and presented artifacts - a place to spend a couple of facinating hours. I particularly enjoyed the video presentation of the barrel-makers assembling washing tubs out of oak staves. It`s free and the staff are super friendly.

Amazing place, lot of history

An interesting, well prepared space. Worth visiting! The staff is very nice too. Theres a free parking for guests

Interesting little exhibition about Miele products over the past 100 years. From the beginnings (washing tubs, bicycles, mopeds, cars), through the technical advances of the past decades (washing machines, dishwashers, microwaves) to the current products in our own showroom. I would especially like to mention the nice receptionist!

Very nice piece of history. Not big, but definitely worth visiting.

Great insight into the humble beginnings of a now most desirable premium brand "immer besser".

I visited that museum in 2016. When I look back past it was a great experience for me as Miele employee. Big company, proud history,

So nice to see our company’s heritage, well presented. Love this company

Unfortunately I will no longer buy a Miele appliance! Anyone who moves German jobs to Poland should also sell the equipment there! Polish consumers probably all buy a washing machine between 1600 and 2600 euros! I was always prepared to pay more for a product from Germany! From now on, China garbage only costs 1/6 if at all! If the Chinese scrap is broken, throw it in the dump and don't call Miele customer service again! Very sustainable! Thank you Miele! Unfortunately it won't work for the two of us, and it's not me, it's you!

Very nice exhibition booth for Miele product

Great place

History of Miele products is very interesting. The museum operates in the normal working houres of the factory. The exposition is very well made and presented.

Excellence for 123 years so far and for many more in the future!

Long evolution of Miele products and innovation with the best quality at the core

Nice museum with history of Miele. You will find a lot of different types of machines made by Miele through the years. Also fun for the kids because they see and use most of the household machines everyday.
