Toyota may be synonymous with reliable automotive technology, but the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology goes beyond automobiles, tracing the evolution of Japanese manufacturing. Toyota originated as a textile firm, and the museum is set in a pilot factory built in 1911 by founder Sakichi Toyoda to research and develop automatic looms. The complex has two main pavilions - one dedicated to textiles and the other to automobiles. There are about 100 textile machines, from a 19thcentury steam engine converted to mill, circular loom invented by Toyoda and Taisho era spinning mills to present day sophisticated equipment with mechatronics. The automotive section has 4 zones - The Initial Period of the Automobile Business, Automobile Mechanisms and Parts, Automobile Technology, and Production Technology. The museum has an attached library with over 70,000 books and material for research, as well as several other attractions such as futuristic robots and a play area for kids.
