The City Model

The central gallery. The entire city in model - every wing of the museum opens onto it, and it opens onto the estate: 143,971 buildings, 189 cities, the CBD and its vertical push.

The City Model
A 1:500 city fills the lobby floor - every district, every tower, every rail line. The first thing you see and the last thing you understand.
Day and Night over the Model
On a twenty-minute cycle the model runs dawn to midnight: windows light floor by floor, streets fill and empty, the CBD glows last.
The Annotated Skyline
Pick any tower on the rail and its story lights on the model - height, year, structure, and why it rose where it did.
The Great Holo Table
The 8-by-6 interactive table: call any quarter of the model up in 3D above the glass and turn it with your hands or your tablet. A docent joins your class for the period.
The Reading Wall
The hall's informational panels in sequence - the argument of the gallery told in maps, figures, and captions. Read it like a chapter.
Viewpoints
The estate viewpoint sets open here: the CBD wall, the modern set, the historical set, the top 10, the world set - always on call at the model rail.
