Madurodam: The World’s Most Prestigious Miniature Park

When it comes to miniature parks, one name stands out globally: Madurodam in The Hague, the Netherlands. Our Madurodam miniature park models have been part of this story for more than twenty years. Recognized worldwide as the pinnacle of the industry, Madurodam is a masterpiece of art, engineering and history.

At MiniatureArt, we are very proud of our lasting partnership with this legendary institution. Since 2002, we have been the trusted manufacturer behind highly detailed models that captivate millions. Our contribution is so significant that MiniatureArt is officially listed as the main manufacturer on platforms such as Wikipedia, cementing our position as a global leader in miniature production.

1:25 scale miniatures and moving models

The miniature models we produce for Madurodam are based on 1:25 scale. In addition to architectural building models, MiniatureArt can also design and produce moving trains, cars, aircraft and other mechanisms. In new projects, we define the scope of movement, lighting and control systems together.

You can explore our other miniature park projects, our miniature model gallery and our production approach, and contact us about your project.

Royal Heritage and Record-Breaking Success

Madurodam was opened in 1952 by Princess (later Queen) Beatrix and has a truly long-standing royal history.

In 2012 the park underwent a huge transformation and modernization, and we were honoured to be part of this new era. The park was once again opened by Queen Beatrix. Driven by improved, ultra-realistic miniatures and new interactive elements, the 2012 reopening shattered all previous attendance records, attracting an astonishing 1.05 million visitors in a single year. This milestone proved that the combination of royal heritage and the latest miniature craftsmanship is a unique recipe for success.

More Than Twenty Years of Unique Artistic Partnership

A Partnership Built on Trust (2002 – Present)

Having produced its miniatures in-house for half a century, Madurodam chose to work with MiniatureArt for external model production for the first time in its history. This collaboration, which began in 2002, has continued with new projects for more than twenty years. Our work for the Rotterdam area in 2025 was one of the latest examples of this long-standing partnership.

Since 2002, we have been producing and delivering detailed miniature models for the park. Today the park has nearly 500 miniatures, and our production work contributes to the development of this collection.

Building a Living World:

Movement and SCADA Systems

What truly sets Madurodam apart is that it is not a static exhibition — it is a living, breathing, dynamic world. The engineering required for this level of animation goes far beyond standard model making.

Interactive Animatronics and Movement

At Madurodam, everything is in motion. We are talking about extremely complex dynamic systems:

  • Moving Transport: Aircraft taxiing on runways, cars cruising smoothly along motorways and ships sailing through waterways.

  • Animated Figures: Even the miniature people are designed to move, bringing city squares and concert venues to life.

  • Advanced Railway Networks: The miniature train system is so extensive, complex and technologically advanced that it requires a dedicated SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) control room to monitor and operate it.

The technical know-how needed to integrate mechanical movement, weather resistance and aesthetic perfection into these dynamic models is MiniatureArt’s core strength.
