Craftsmanship Museum, Technology museum in Carlsbad, California.

The Craftsmanship Museum is a technology museum in Carlsbad, California, featuring hundreds of handcrafted miniature objects on display. The collection includes working engines, aircraft models, architectural reproductions, and mechanical pieces created through detailed metalworking and woodworking.

The Joe Martin Foundation for Exceptional Craftsmanship was created in 1997 by Joe Martin, who first put the museum online as a website. In 2006 Martin converted part of his shop into a public museum, and in 2011 the collection moved to a 16,000-square-foot building in Carlsbad's Raceway industrial park, a couple of miles from the Sherline factory.

The museum celebrates handcrafted miniatures created by artisans from around the world who share a passion for precision work. You can see how traditional skills and modern engineering come together in each piece.

The museum occupies a 16,000-square-foot building in the Raceway industrial park, a couple of miles from the Sherline factory. A volunteer master machinist staffs the on-site machine shop, which cleans, restores and repairs donated or loaned pieces. Confirm opening days before travelling, as the site is run by the Joe Martin Foundation.

The collection features remarkable handcrafted miniature vehicles assembled from thousands of individual parts that builders have carefully constructed over many years. These detailed reproductions are often engineered so precisely that all components actually work.
