Museum of Steel

The Museum of Steel, known as the Museo del Acero, is located in the city of Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico.

The Museo del Acero is one of the largest museums ever created in Mexico. It is located on the site of the very large Fundidora steel plant that was decommissioned in the mid 1980s. For 80 years, the Fundidora plant was an important part of the economic and social fabric of this city of 3.7 million people, and its conversion to a major educational facility has been very well received.

The new museum, built in and around a decommissioned blast furnace, has emerged as a new focal point for the region The newly restored 230-foot-high blast furnace Horno No. 3, the city’s most recognizable icon dominating the Monterrey skyline, makes the museum unique.
