The exhibition features painstaking recreations of 50 iconic building, built to an exacting 1:164 scale by hand out of toothpicks!


Many of the tallest buildings from the Washington Monument to current title-holder, the UAE’s Burj Khalifa, will be on display.


These models will take visitors through a global journey of engineering marvels, while inspiring the inner architect and designer in us all.

The exhibit even includes a 40-foot-long Golden Gate Bridge, making it the longest toothpick structure ever created, according to Guinness World Records.
