Craftsmanship Museum, Technology museum in Carlsbad, California.
The Miniature Engineering Craftsmanship Museum displays hundreds of miniature engines, aircraft models, and mechanical projects created through detailed metalworking and woodworking techniques.
The museum began as an online platform by Joe Martin in 1997 and transformed into a physical location at the Sherline factory in 2006 before moving to Carlsbad in 2010.
The museum honors international craftsmen through exhibits of precision-engineered miniatures, including working engines, architectural models, and mechanical reproductions from various traditions.
Located at 3190 Lionshead Avenue, the museum operates Thursday through Saturday from 9 AM to 4 PM, offering free admission and wheelchair accessibility.
The collection features a 1/6 scale 1932 Duesenberg model with 6000 scratch-built parts, which required 20,000 hours of construction time.
