Madurodam - a photo on Flickriver

Madurodam

            One of the highlights for me from our 1967 trip to Europe, was our visit to Madurodam, a miniature park and tourist attraction in the Scheveningen district of The Hague in the Netherlands. It is home to a range of 1:25 scale model replicas of famous Dutch landmarks, historical cities and large developments. The park was opened in 1952 and has since been visited by tens of millions of visitors.

The detail of the miniature buildings and landscapes is amazing.  The highways had moving cars and trucks, airplanes were taxiing at the airport, Boats were moving in the canals and harbor, even a speedboat with a water-skier, all in 1/25 scale.   In the bottom left of this image you can see the Kodak Instamatic camera in the hand of my 9 year old brother Mark.  I snapped this shot with my own Kodak Instamatic 104 camera.

Incidently, I just read that The entirety of net proceeds from the park go towards various charities in the Netherlands.  How cool is that!
