National Building Museum's winter model-train tradition

The National Building Museum, housed in a 19th-century federal building known for its monumental Great Hall, presents large-scale public exhibitions and educational programs about architecture, design, and the built environment. Each winter the museum has hosted a large model-train display and related family-oriented programming in its Great Hall, becoming a seasonal cultural attraction for local families and visitors. The museum also runs architecture-focused events and workshops for schools and the public.
