Scale models

The museum shows in its exhibition a set of scale models made in the 70's -80's by Desiderio García Felipe, who worked in maintenance (as bricklayer) for the factory since he was 14 years old...He sadly left us in 2012, having celebrated his one hundred years. He has left us a humble but precious, unvaluable legacy:  Even though he could not study, their scale models are very proportioned and precise, reflecting the morphology of the represented buildings very accurately. Some of them are the "Calle del Cercado", "Plaza de Luis Escudero", "Iglesia de Riòpar Viejo" (the old village church), "Serrería y viviendas obreras" (Sawmill and workers state), the School and the "talleres de San Carlos" (workshops), where the Museum is now based in.

Addittionally, the scale model made by Beatriz F. Castro and Ismael Trigueros shows the functioning of a three male drop hammer from the 18th Century, pushed the strenght of the water.
