Museum of Industrial Technology
Experience the exhibitions of machines that contributed to the development of Japanese industry in its dynamic state.
The museum, open also to the public, was established on campus to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the school. More than 250 machines that contributed to the development of Japanese industry are being exhibited according to their type and in chronological order of their manufacture date. Many of the machines are preserved in their dynamic state. The small back-street factory of the old days has been restored and a large gas turbine which was developed as a national project is also being exhibited here. A steam locomotive made in England in 1891 is preserved and regularly run on tracks laid on the premises.
What is unparalleled with other universities, is that by directly touching, moving, processing and maintaining machines with historical values, new ideas are being born.
With the aim to nurture competent engineers who will engage in high-level manufacturing required to cope with the sustainable development of Japan, the museum will make efforts to enhance the variety of machines and materials as well as to provide new ideas for exhibition and its explanation notes.
