During all decades, the Müller-Family had cultivated the thought to establish a Museum displaying the rarities of collected machines. 1996 the decision was made the ?Expo. 01? was to be realized in the ?Drei-Seen-Region? (district of the three lakes). So, the instruction was given to found the Museum ?Centre Müller?. The ideal location was discovered in a foundry built in 1901.

The foundry was already bought by the firm Müller Machines in 1942. At the time, the building was used for the revision of machines, as a workshop or painting Atelier as also for depository.

As the country exhibition ?Expo .01? became ?Expo .02?, the concern-management was not unhappy. To bring ?Centre Müller? to life, much had to get organized simultaneously to the daily business.

The Museum was formally opened on April 26th, 2002. A social gathering was represented by personalities of international economy, finance and politics. By the beginning of May, the rareties were open to the public. Visitors of the Museum will be set back in the time to around 1900. Various workshops were adjusted accordingly to give an impression of working conditions at the time.

Not only does the Museum dedicate itself to the past. In one hall fitted with the most modern machines of the 21th century, the rattling is exchanged by a humming sound. The machines are steered by computers instead of manpower.
