Horno3 Steel Museum
Museo del Acero Horno3
A steel museum in Parque Fundidora, housed in a converted 70-meter blast furnace. Visitors can climb to the top for views over the city.
Horno 3, the last blast furnace of the Fundidora steel mill, has been converted into the interactive Museo del Acero Horno3. Exhibits and multimedia displays explain the steelmaking process and Monterrey's industrial history. A daily “blast furnace show” simulates tapping molten iron. The most popular attraction is the external elevator up to the observation deck at the top of the furnace, which offers views of the city and Cerro de la Silla. The museum is closed on Mondays. The summit visit requires a separate ticket and depends on the weather. It is best visited together with Parque Fundidora.
