Over the weekend we went to a new museum that is right next to the Rhine Falls. A model train and miniatures replica of Switzerland. Right now they have highlights from Eastern Switzerland, Appenzell and the Bernese Oberland area but they are going to continue to add more regions.
It was a fun outing. There were so many funny or surprising little scenes – things that you have to look closely to find. Every once in a while it would become night time – it would get dark and tiny lights would come on in all the mini buildings. Everyone would stop and wait for the sun to come on again and then continue to examine all the details.
It reminded me of the excellent model train display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. I think both places are marvelous because they must have taken so much work to create.
Here are a bunch of photos. It seems I, stupidly, didn’t get a photo of any of the little trains. Oops.
