The exhibit includes miniature scale models of well-known sites and places from around the world, connected by train tracks and highways featuring all manner of transportation — from horses and elephants to hot air balloons, jet planes and space shuttles. We have a variety of scenes from places around the globe. As an American company and a New York venue there is an emphasis on scenes from the US, but other continents are represented too. All are packed action, surprises and humor.
We are interested in building a community of supporters and contributors to help us develop our world. Whether you have your own miniature display, or you have ideas for scenes or storylines, let us know what you would like to see. We have no shortage of ideas, but we have so many possibilities that we want the best ideas from everywhere to make MINIATURE WORLD a more unique, ingenious, and exciting destination.
