Extreme Model Railroad and Contemporary Architecture Museum

The museum plans incorporate a 670-foot gallery space featuring 1,256 precision scale buildings and 2,000 model trains on an extensive track network.

The project began in 2015 under Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art director Thomas Krens with support from two former state governors.

Frank Gehry, the architect behind Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, leads the design of this 83,000-square-foot museum merging model trains with contemporary architecture.

The museum will provide visitors with tablets to interact with exhibits while rear-projection screens display changing landscapes, weather conditions, and train routes.

The museum plans include a 40-foot scale model of the World Trade Center among its extensive collection of architectural miniatures.
