Holiday Train Show
Now in its twenty-third year, the Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden is a holiday tradition among many in the city. Over 150 architectural icons are on display in the Haupt Conservatory, with model trains running on tracks that weave their way through the model structures rendered in natural materials. Paul Busse and his team at Applied Imagination have created each of the landmarks for the show. They have designed train exhibitions for gardens across the country, including Chicago, Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C. The Holiday Train Show will run through January 19, 2015.
