The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures
Using design and technology to showcase
one of the world’s largest collections of fine-scale miniatures and toys.
We collaborated with West Office Exhibit Design to create a modern museum experience containing toys and fine-scale miniatures. We designed and developed over 1,000 custom displays and artifact enclosures, interactive video walls, motion activated lighting, signage, and custom games that invites patrons to experience a new standard of museums.
The most popular features are a two-story rotating toy-tisserie that displays more than 1,000 toys, and a 9-foot tall custom made zoetrope that visitors can spin to see an animation of a pilot take off by plane but land by parachute. Visitors can also visit the artist’s studio where they can test their skills at building fine scale miniatures. The museum is located in Kansas City, Missouri.
