Peek Inside a Model of Gehry’s Extreme Model Railroad Museum

Design development for Frank Gehry’s model railroad museum in rural New England is chugging along. The Extreme Model Railroad and Contemporary Architecture Museum aims to condense the wide world of architecture into a museum with tiny trains. The project, near the contemporary art museum MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts, mashes up scale models of buildings like the Empire State Building, the Shanghai World Financial Center, the Tate Modern, Fenway Park (the museum is in Red Sox territory, after all), and 161 other notable structures against each other in a 670-foot-long gallery to create a scenic tableaux for model trains—and curious visitors.
