The Tychy City Museum is dedicated to the city’s history. Its city history section brings together exhibits on the history of Tychy and Upper Silesia, extending its focus beyond the city to the wider region. The museum also offers educational sessions on Tychy’s history and the role of museums today, excursions around Tychy and urban outdoor games.

Industrial history is also part of the cityscape: Browar Obywatelski is listed as a post-industrial site on the Route of Industrial Monuments. A recipe for Tyskie beer that is more than a hundred years old was also revived at the brewery. This links the site’s industrial heritage with a specific story of beer production.

Since 2016, Tyska Galeria Sportu has been a branch of the Tychy City Museum. It is located in the Municipal Stadium at ul. Edukacji 7. Its institutional affiliation is clear: it is part of the city museum, while its location is within the stadium.
