Have you heard about MinNature Malaysia? Of course some of you never heard that. If you are fan of the minnature, I recommend you guys to visit here. It was so interesting exhibition and I am impressed with their creativity.
MinNature Malaysia is located on the fourth floor of Summit USJ. It is Malaysia’s First and Largest miniature exhibition utilizing 1:87 scale models of everything from buildings, nature and human models.
The brainchild behind this exhibition is Wan Cheng Huat (Alvin) who aims to bring a different experience to Malaysia when it comes to models and miniature displays. MinNature Malaysia aims to replicate an entire ecosystem of animal life, human beings and lifestyle activities within a 1:87 scale sizing in its re-creation.
The Idea of Miniatures
Inspired by Miniatur Wunderland Hamburg, Alvin (though he has never been to the exhibition) realised that this was an experience that Malaysia has been missing out on and sought to build a Malaysian version of a miniature wonderland.
With the whole intention on bringing this unique experience to Malaysians, Alvin set along a long road in realising this dream, raising the capital and going through a lot of self-training to be able to setup, source and build all the required models used in the exhibition you see today.
Since the successful development and curation of MinNature Malaysia, the brand has attracted over 4,000 visitors in their first 3 months of operations.
The Largest 1:87 Miniature Exhibition in Asia
With more than 3 years of hard work and passion in this project, Alvin’s team, the Masterbuilders, have built more than 1,000 miniature buildings with more than 5,000 figures. The sophisticated designs and intricately created craftworks of the models will wow the visitors who are willing to take their time to explore over 7,000 sqft of numerous different themes and ‘wonderlands’.
You will see recognisable landmarks and iconic buildings in Malaysia and also buildings and structures from the creative imagination of the Masterbuilders. Tons of steel, wood, and plasters form the foundation of this extraordinary exhibition.
Each building at the Dataran centerpiece has been intricately modeled based on their originals, and recreated by 10 3D printers. The entire exhibition on display has been built and made by hand – a process, which has led to the 3 years of set-up until where it is today. Over 80 staff members have contributed to this lengthy process.
More than 40 trains traverse along the 2,600-feet-long railways around the exhibition. Along each and every square feet of the exhibition, there is a miniature masterpiece to be admired.
Miniatures Are A Passion
Staff members are available to provide a quality experience to all visitors by answering queries as well as giving visitors a first-hand explanation on the intricate models in the exhibition.
Visitors who are interested in making their own miniatures can join various workshops and purchase kits from RM15 per model kit. Workshop schedules can be obtained from the MinNature Malaysia’s Facebook page.
Treasure Hunt Challenge
Visitors will be able to spot numerous ‘Treasure Hunt’ details throughout the exhibition (e.g. lookout for Batman and Spiderman).
MinNature is currently running a Ultimate Treasure Hunt Challenge, with prizes worth more than RM3000.
Visitors who are able to find at least 12 out of the total 18 items will qualify for the Ultimate Treasure Hunt Challenge which will be held in June 2017. Visitors who successfully locate all 18 items will be rewarded with a refund of their admission ticket of the day also.
