The Buildings of Disaster "Hotel Taj Mahal" Miniature by Boym Partners

Buildings of Disaster are miniature replicas of famous structures where tragic or terrible events happened to take place. These small monuments make a different, populist history of architecture, one based on emotional involvement rather than on scholarly appreciation. Inevitably, the sites of tragic events become involuntary monuments and tourist destinations.

This miniature of the Hotel Taj Mahal, was created to commemorate the first anniversary of the terrorist attack in Mumbai on November 26, 2008.

Every object is individually cast of heavy, specially formulated material: bonded nickel. Each building is hand-finished and consecutively numbered.

Dimensions: 4 1/2" L x 3" H
