Model trains here travel around New York City landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and more in adorable miniatures made from natural materials such as birch bark, acorns and cinnamon sticks. Secret NYC.
The Train Show, located at the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, is an indoor winter wonderland. There are more than 190 large-scale buildings and famous landmarks of New York. For example, the World Trade Center, Radio City Music Hall and others. This year there is even a new version of the George Washington Bridge. It took about 1000 hours to build.
The exposition includes mini-copies of more than 25 trains and wagons traveling around this city in miniature. The train show will open on November 19, 2022 and close on January 16, 2023.
New this year are signs dedicated to the plants used in the replicas of the festive train show. To establish a link between the NYBG exhibit's botanical roots and its plant research and conservation agenda, the sign will link to these plant stories through the Bloomberg Connects app.
