The museum was created on the site of a porcelain production facility closed in 2001, founded in 1886 by the Schlegelmilch family who came here from Thuringia. Before 1945, the Factory in Tułowice was one of the largest porcelain manufacturers in Silesia. The products, due to their quality and design, were well-known in Europe and the USA. From the beginning of the 20th century until World War I, most of the production was directed to the USA, where the Factory in Tułowice had its representations. After World War II, the facility continued to produce porcelain. In 1976, it was expanded. It significantly increased production, focusing on popular porcelainite products. Production ended in 2001.

In April of this year, after 9 years of restoration work, the restored factory began a new life. Thanks to the efforts of the Silesian Industrial Heritage Protection Foundation team, the carefully restored factory became the Silesian Porcelain Museum. The historic interiors shelter products from 12 Silesian manufacturers. Often these are the only traces of those old factories.
