I would like to recommend this museum to see for all people interested in machines and industry.
Museum is specific - lot of machines are working so you can see them and feel.
Very good for kids, I was alone but will come back in coming two months again with 9y son.

The bust made out of bronze is 7 metres high. It is the most famous landmark of the city and was created in 1971 by a Russian sculptor Lew Kerbel.
On the wall of the building behind the monument is the writing "Workers of the world unite!" in German, English, French and Russian. Ugly but worth a look.

We took a brief walk through to see if it'd hold the interest of our young teens --it didn't. Normally we push them to learn and enjoy anyway - but we'd already done that today.
The museum seemed to have several lovely pieces but the rooms appeared a bit dark and drab for my taste. We did go to the museum store and enjoyed browsing there -- my hubby picked up a poster of a Friedrich ship
For 3 euros.
4. Wasserschloss Klaffenbach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 31 reviews
The picturesque Wasserschloss Klaffenbach, located on the southern outskirts of Chemnitz, was built in the 16th century and has now been turned into a cultural meeting point of a very special kind. Parallel to the river Würschnitz unfolds the general complex from closing buildings, hotel, restaurant and arts and crafts studio in the midst of a landscape park from green meadows, attractive golf course and popular walking ways. Changing Exhibitions to arts and crafts, design and art as well as cultural programs in the lock, in addition, open air events and seasonal markets in the lock yard stand in the loose change on the meeting calendar. Beyond that the delightful ambience of the lock offers a special framework for professional conferences, seminars, receipts, weddings and private celebrations.

The Wasserschloss Hotel is located in the middle of nature, next to a golf course. I have slept many times in this hotel. They offer clean and modern rooms, a good breakfast and possibility for lunch and dinner.
5. Staatliches Museum fur Archaologie Chemnitz
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 36 reviews
Reviewed By PatrickKenny - Milton Keynes, England
Simply my favourite museum in the world, and I have been in many. The curator/curators should get awards for its design. It is lit like a theatre set, and the explanations are superb, just the right amount and presented in the most accessible manner. You could spend the whole day here and not get bored, it's that good.
It is also criminally under-visited so get along there and support this amazing place.
6. Villa Esche
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 38 reviews
Reviewed By Veleiro - Dunkirk, France
Entering this mansion gave me immediately a Citizen Kane Xanadu feeling. The rooms are so large, everything is simply a bit out of proportion. But why complain if the master is not in search of a pleasant and cosy place, but just wants to impress his friends and visitors. Anyhow, he was clever enough to give the project in the hands of Henry van de Velde, the director of the School of Applied Arts (later Bauhaus) in Weimar. The result may be seen and is perfect for a museum. Although there's still space left for new acquisitions. That emptiness is because you can rent the spot for a party or a conference.

8. Museum Roter Turm
Overall Ratings
4 based on 14 reviews
Reviewed By Janulik - Prague, Czech Republic
I have no idea if this tower is ever opened as it doesn't look like it. But the Red Tower is the oldest preserved landmark of the city of Chemnitz. It was built around the end of the 12th century. At first it was used as a residential tower and for self-fortification, later it was part of the city fortification. The name comes from the red paint of the brick and its former red roofing with tiles.The tower was used as a prison later. It was burnt down by bombings on Chemnitz towards the end of the WWII. It was reconstructed from 1957 to 1959.

The building indeed is beautiful, but there isn't always a good event to attend to. For a small town it does give a the feeling you're in a special place. But that's all. Don't raise your expectations.
10. Das Chemnitzer Rathaus

Reviewed By Janulik - Prague, Czech Republic
There are two town halls, the new one and the old one. The old town hall
The old town hall was built at the end of the 15th century and has had to endure several restructurings over the centuries.
New town hall
Built at the beginning of the 20th century by the city building officer Richard Möbius, it is attached to the old town hall. Since 1978, the carillon has been located in the new town hall tower. The interior design of the building is predominantly in the Art Nouveau style.
