During the colonial period, the city was divided into separate concessions for each colonial power: Britain, France, Austria, Italy, Russia, Belgium, Japan, Germany - all had economic interests in Tianjin. Many of the old buildings have escaped the wrecker's ball and have ben preserved - the Tianjin Fine Art Museum, for example, is now housed in a French colonial-era building.
