It is in a space of 400 m² also offering a breathtaking view of the museum's collections that you can discover impressive animated and static dioramas, LEGO® train sets from the last 40 years as well as various models of French locomotives including the iconic TGV PSE from 1981 in circulation on 60 meters of LEGO® tracks. An exhibition organizedin partnership with the German LEGO® fan association "Schwabenstein 2x4 eV"
#FOCUS | THE CITY: AN XXL CITY
Since 2008, Klaus Wirtz and Tibor Hoffmann have been building an incredible miniature city out of LEGO® bricks. You can observe the activity ofmore than 1,000 small inhabitants(LEGO® mini-figures), the infrastructures allowing them to move around (port, airport, railways and roads, etc.), numerous buildings as well as everyday scenes. A wonder for the eyes as there are things to discover.
THE CIRCULATIONS OF HISTORICAL MATERIALS
THE TGV
FROM 1981
In 2021, the Cité du Train celebrated the 40th anniversary of the TGV with a new exhibition space entirely dedicated to the history of high-speed rail in France and the presentation of a 1981 TGV PSE engine.
Unconditional fan of this train in the iconic orange livery, Patrick Bohlmann – one of the 12 exhibitors of the "Schwabenstein 2x4 eV" association – will offer us a replica more real than life that it will be possible to see circulating on the 60 meters of LEGO® train tracks set up for the exhibition.
