Our bright, top-lit lobby! The lobby houses a rest corner and leads directly to the Room of Fame, a restaurant, and the Video Library. In the middle of the lobby you’ll find the circular loom invented by Sakichi Toyoda in 1906. This circular loom integrated many inventive technologies, such as three-dimensional weaving, and is currently exhibited as the symbol of the museum’s key spirit of being studious and creative. The beautiful cylinder hanging from the ceiling is made from fabric woven on this loom. In front is a model of the Head Plant of the former Toyoda Spinning & Weaving Co., Ltd., the cradle of the Toyota Group. The 12-paneled multi-vision screen shows production and R&D activities of the Toyota Group, serving as a prologue and guiding you on to the pavilion where you can experience the changes in the industry and technology as well as the spirit of making things. ▲Go to TOP Copyright (C) Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology All rights reserved.
