Tang Shigang is a painter with a passion for antique machinery.
The 53-year-old has spent more than two decades collecting 36 large machine tools dating from the 19th century through to the 1930s.
Most were imported from Germany, the United States, Switzerland and the former Soviet Union, although a few were made by China's first arsenals, built during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
