Do you want to travel to a magical world and live an unforgettable experience? If so, you have to visit the Wunderland Museum. This is one of the many museums in Hamburg, but it has something that makes it special, and that is that all its exhibits are miniature models, and it includes several small-scale model trains, which are totally one of a kind.
Although it sounds like an idea straight out of a fairy tale, the Wunderland Museum is a state-of-the-art creation. One of its founders, the German Frederik Braun, traveled to Zurich and there was fascinated by a model that presented a miniature railway line.
After securing financing and partners to help him create the museum, construction of the Wunderland began in December 2000. By the end of the following year, the building was ready to open.
At that time, galleries with scale models of railways and airports already existed, but none were as large as the Wunderland Museum. Currently, it is one of the most visited destinations in Hamburg, and a must-see for those who want to get to know the city, especially if they are traveling with young children.
The experience of the Wunderland Museum, whose official name is Miniatur-Wunderland, begins the moment you enter the place. It is divided into several sections, each representing a specific region of Europe and the world.
The first scale model that is seen is that of Hamburg, and the following are those of Switzerland, Italy, France, Scandinavia, Monaco and Italy. These exhibitions not only show the railway lines of these countries, but they took into account every last detail, so they are exact miniature models of various cities.
Other attractions that we can see in the Wunderand Museum is the moving model of the Hamburg airport, known as Knuffingen Airport, whose plane takes off and its control tower has lights that illuminate the runway.
Similarly, the Wunderland Museum has several model airplanes and even sci-fi spaceships. Its huge mechanical system is always in motion, and so that no exhibition fails, the museum has a team of about 300 people, who are responsible for monitoring the operation of the models.
Thanks to its impressive work, the Miniature Wunderland Museum has won numerous international awards, as well as various records and awards.
The Miniature Wunderland Museum is a fascinating destination, but before you get to know it, you need to know a few things. The first is that it is necessary to buy a ticket to access its interior.
Keep in mind that tickets can be purchased on the museum’s official website, so you won’t have to stand in long lines before entering the venue. Likewise, if you are traveling as a family or with several people, you can purchase group passes, which are also sold on the online platform.
Similarly, the Wunderland Museum offers guided tours, which explore every detail of its magnificent and incomparable models. Let’s go! We assure you that this museum will become one of your favorites and you will want to visit it a million times more.
