The Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology, founded in a joint creation of the Toyota Group companies, uses the location and buildings of a pilot factory built in 1911 by Sakichi Toyoda to research and develop automatic looms.
 
The museum was established to enable broader access for the public to the historically important red-brick building and help promote healthy development of society, while preserving the site as an historical asset for the group.
 
Creative Workshop
This building is part of the Kariya Iron Working Shop belonging to Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Ltd. that was built in 1926 for the full-scale production of the Type G Automatic Loom. A section of the building was later moved to this site and restored. Consisting of a wooden truss structure with concrete walls, it is a valuable example of industrial architecture and displays the features of the period of transition from brick to reinforced concrete walls. As well as manufacturing machinery from the founding period of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, parts of the roof structure and exterior wall from the same period are on display.
 
Steam Engine
After its manufacture in 1898, this steam engine was used in a German spinning mill. It was modified in 1902 to generate electrical power and moved to a saw mill near Stuttgart.

Since 1976 it has been preserved as a valuable industrial heritage. It was specially acquired by this museum in spring 2005 as a key exhibit in line with our founding principle of displaying the real history of industrial technology.
