To quote from Paul Gilster of Centauri Dreams on MiniSpaceWorld:

 

MiniSpaceWorld is an attempt to create, at a European site still to be determined, a wide-ranging exhibit covering the state of the art in rocketry and pointing toward a future that encompasses missions to extrasolar planets. Tibor’s inspiration for this was the amazing Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, an exhibition that may be the most spectacular gathering of model railway talent ever assembled in a single place.

 

With content ranging from the experiments of Galileo up to existing space installations worldwide and extending to showcase potential exoplanetary environments, MiniSpaceWorld aims to cover the gamut of space exploration, all in a miniaturized format that can pack an enormous amount of material into a small space, roughly 3500 square meters in two levels, with a potential for growth. 

 

The design contest soliciting ideas in all categories can be accessed through the MSW site, where details of contest entries and the format to be used are also provided. 

 

A jury including Tau Zero’s Marc Millis will judge the winners, with an award ceremony to be held in December in Budapest, organized in conjunction with Galaktika, the award-winning European science fiction magazine.
