National Museum of Toys & Miniatures

Project Case Study

The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures chose McCownGordon to renovate their home on UMKC’s campus in collaboration with Helix Architecture. The original mansion built in 1911, which received a major addition in 1988 and another addition in 2002, required an extensive renovation.

New display cases with a glass pivot door system allow the museum to maximize the space for display of toys and miniatures.
