Tour Downtown Window Displays & Exhibits
On your next visit to Downtown Santa Cruz swing by our delightful new window displays and outdoor exhibits to enjoy art, history, & the 15th year of Toy Trains!
Toy Trains Window Display
Get whisked away into the whimsical world of Toy Trains and enjoy the 15th year of this beloved annual pop-up exhibit at the MAH.
Members of the Golden State Toy Train Operators will be on hand to once again share their amazing collection of toy trains through the windows of the MAH’s atrium. Watch from outside in the Secret Garden as the trains chug through the festive beach town in this new “storefront display." This year will look a little different, but we’re excited to continue this holiday tradition safely for both you and the Train Operators.
First things first, we encourage you to be and stay safe. We are still living during a pandemic and needing to follow shelter-in-place orders. When outside, please stay at least 6-feet distance and wear a mask.
Getting Here
The display is on view through the Museum windows on the Secret Garden side. Enter through Abbott Square via Cooper Street and head straight back, down past xylophone alley, behind Belly Goat Burger. The Secret Garden is also home to our outdoor exhibition Community is Collective Care. Enjoy the trains then stroll through the exhibition to imagine individual and collective pathways toward healing with artist Irene Juárez O’Connell.
