Description
In 2020, MiniWorld3D founder Dany Sánchez visited Washington D.C. and became inspired to recreate the National Mall for the MiniWorld3D collection. Here is the first one, the National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institute! Designed by Artemio García , we hope you enjoy printing this model.
In 2022, with 3.9 million visitors, it was the most-visited museum in the United States, It has free admission and is open 364 days a year. The main building, opened in 1910, has an overall area of 1.5 million square feet (140,000 m2) with 325,000 square feet (30,200 m2) of exhibition and public space and houses over 1,000 employees.
The museum's collections contain over 146 million specimens of plants, animals, fossils, minerals, rocks, meteorites, human remains, and human cultural artifacts, the largest natural history collection in the world. It is also home to about 185 professional natural history scientists—the largest group of scientists dedicated to the study of natural and cultural history in the world (from Wikipedia).
MiniWorld3D is happy to bring this historical model to life as a homage to all the people of the USA. Please give credit, it's all about spreading culture!
