Garden Railway Exhibit at the Conservatory
I love the words “repurposed” and “recycled.” When I’m done with this lifetime, I hope someone finds new use for me, just as the Conservatory of Flowers has found new use for a variety of household items and materials as part of their Second Annual Golden Gate Express Garden Railway exhibit, now on display through April 18, 2010.
The exhibit features a model railway system that meanders through a scaled, garden-filled replica of San Francisco, complete with a mini Transamerica Building, Ferry Building, Palace of Fine Arts, Golden Gate Bridge and Coit Tower.
What makes this exhibit doubly impressive is the fact that all of the landmarks are built using “recycled” and “repurposed” items--- things like utensils, light switch covers, corks, CDs, computer keys and even cheese graters.
This is the second iteration of the exhibit, which follows last year’s highly successful debut. Last night, I got to preview the exhibit and it instantly brought back memories of my childhood. This exhibit is not to be missed!
