Buildings


Miniature models of famous buildings and sites have long been an attraction in parks and exhibitions. The popularity of these kinds of displays continues through today as parks like Legoland are still being built featuring elaborate displays of miniature worlds.

The Garden of Marvels was a complete miniature village, bringing models of some of the world's greatest and most recognizable landmarks together in an elaborately landscaped setting. Railways and waterways wound through the landscape bringing movement and life to the setting. The trains emerged from tunnels in the mountain landscape where the control room for all of the animated aspects of the Garden of Marvels was setup in a concrete bunker beneath the exit pathway.
