Based in Klagenfurt Austria, MINIMUNDUS creates amazingly realistic models of famous buildings and structures--like the US space shuttle, Sydney Opera House and Eiffel Tower. Guests to the MINIMUNDUS park can visit 150 famous buildings from five continents. I've tried to identify as many buildings as possible, but I couldn't get them all.
