Colossal models of ships, rockets, high-speed trains and aircraft fill the ground-floor hall of the National Museum of China, introducing an exhibition that traces the country's journey toward high-quality manufacturing over the past five years.
Titled Forging the Path to National Strength: China's Manufacturing Achievements Under the 14th Five-Year Plan, the exhibition opened to the public on Dec 30, bringing together more than 300 objects. It presents the many dimensions of Chinese manufacturing that underpin national development and have shaped — and will continue to shape — everyday life.
Jointly organized by the National Museum of China and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the exhibition highlights major projects, technological breakthroughs and new materials that form the foundation of national development, and point toward future possibilities.
Part of the national museum's "National Exhibition" program, the exhibition will run for five months.
