An industrial museum converted from an old factory building of the Shenyang Foundry Plant, displaying machine tools, aircraft, and scenes from the daily life of workers in old Tiexi.
The China Industrial Museum is on Weigong North Street in Tiexi District. It occupies the casting workshop of the Shenyang Foundry Plant, built in 1939, and has been preserved with its giant overhead cranes, cupola furnaces, and pouring areas. It is known as the China Foundry Museum. Other halls include a general history hall, a machine tool hall, an automobile hall, and a Tiexi hall. These display China's first machine tool, classic Red Flag cars, Beijing 212 jeeps, and a model apartment showing a Tiexi workers' household in the 1980s. Admission is free or charges a small fee, subject to official confirmation. Reservations are required, and the museum is closed on Mondays. A visit takes about 2 hours.
