The Migrant Workers Museum is renovated from the old factory building No. 12 in Mawu Lianhe Industrial Zone, Baiyun District, maintaining its original appearance. Centering on this museum, Guangzhou City Imprint Park is built to reproduce the development and changes of migrant workers. The four-story exhibition hall comprehensively reviews all aspects of migrant workers’ work, history, and life through three themes: ‘General Preface’, ‘Incubation and Development’, and ‘Entering Hundreds of Millions of Migrant Workers’. As a relatively large exhibit this time, the original exhibition hall of the production workshop on the first floor has moved an entire shoe-making and clothing-making production line into the museum. Under the banner of ‘Safety Production is More Important than Mount Tai’, numerous sewing machines, machines, raw materials, and semi-finished shoes and clothes occupy the exhibition hall. The projector reproduces the busy working scenes of migrant workers through videos on the wall. In the ‘Incubation and Development’ exhibition hall on the second floor of the Agricultural Expo Museum, the history of migrant workers in nearly a hundred years is told in chronological order. Among them, the 1984 ‘Sociology Newsletter’ exhibit attracts the attention of reporters. The earlier expression of the term’migrant workers’ comes from here. The exhibition hall also simulates and builds a green train from Chengdu to Guangzhou. The four windows of the train restore the interior scenes of the train through videos. The ‘Entering Hundreds of Millions of Migrant Workers’ exhibition halls on the third and fourth floors restore all aspects of migrant workers’ lives through migrant workers’ real objects such as safety helmets, BP machines, love letters, and phone cards. After touring the four-story exhibition hall, the venue also sets up an interactive platform. Visitors can choose four types of migrant workers’ occupations such as decorators, waiters, water delivery workers, and cleaners for computer photography and role-playing, and can send photos to their own email through the network to experience being a migrant worker.
Opening hours: Open from Tuesday to Sunday throughout the year from 09:30 to 12:30 and from 13:30 to 16:30; Closed all day on Monday throughout the year.
