Nagoya was proclaimed a city in 1889, during the Meiji Restoration; it became a major industrial hub for Japan. The traditional manufactures of timepieces, bicycles, and sewing machines were followed by the production of special steels, chemicals, oil, and petrochemicals, as the area's automobile, aviation, and shipbuilding industries flourished. Nagoya was impacted by bombing from US air raids during World War II.
After the war, Nagoya developed into a major port and transport center. The Shinkansen high-speed line connecting Tokyo and Osaka converges on Nagoya. Nagoya is served by two airports: Chubu Centrair International Airport in nearby Tokoname, and Nagoya Airfield, home to Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation. Nagoya remains an important center for the automotive, aviation, and ceramic industries, hosting the headquarters of Brother Industries, Ibanez, Lexus, and Toyota Tsusho, among others.

Il Museo dell'Opera del Duomo di Pisa si trova in Piazza del Duomo, nel palazzo che fu sala del Capitolo della Primaziale, risalente al XIII secolo, seminario, accademia di belle arti e convento.
Fu inaugurato nel 1986 per ospitare il tesoro della cattedrale, i reperti rimossi dai monumenti sacri per ragioni di restauro e salvaguardia, e tutte quelle opere non più presenti dei vari edifici del complesso monumentale, ma che richiedevano uno spazio espositivo pubblico. Il museo prende nome dall'ente che gestisce il complesso monumentale, ovvero l'Opera del Duomo di Pisa.
Nel 2019, dopo alcuni anni di chiusura, ha riaperto i battenti rinnovato nell'esposizione. In questa seconda veste si privilegia la valorizzazione delle opere esposte e una selezione delle stesse. Alcune opere precedentemente esposte sono state movimentate in altri spazi, ad esempio le stampe colorate ad acquerello sugli affreschi del Camposanto ad opera di Carlo Lasinio sono state spostate al Museo delle sinopie, mentre diversi dipinti sono stati spostati presso le sale del palazzo arcivescovile. Tutta la parte archeologica e i modelli dei monumenti, sia lignei che in alabastro, giacciono, al momento, nei depositi, in attesa di una diversa sistemazione espositiva.
Dal chiostro del museo si può ammirare una splendida vista della Torre pendente.

The museum is one of the few surviving collections of plaster casts of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture in the world. The collection consists of several hundred casts, including casts of some of the most famous surviving ancient Greek and Roman sculptures. Noteworthy casts include those of the Laocoön and His Sons, the Farnese Hercules, the Barberini Faun and Charioteer of Delphi.
The Peplos Kore is perhaps the best known exhibit in the museum. It is a plaster cast of an ancient Greek statue of a young woman painted brightly as the original would have been, which was set up on the Acropolis of Athens, around 530 BCE. In 1975, the museum attempted to replicate the sculpture's original appearance by painting a cast of the figure. The replica was then displayed next to a second, unpainted cast as a challenge to the erroneous equation of ancient Greek sculpture with pure white marble.The museum also holds a large collection of sherds and epigraphic squeezes.
The museum is open to the public Tuesday to Friday: 10.00am to 5.00pm and on Saturdays in University term time: 10.00am to 1.00pm.
