Model Rail museums / large exhibits of the world!

I am not sure if we already have such a thread here. If not, will it not be a good idea to have a thread with links to the several hundreds of great exhibit layouts around the world?

 

To start with, I can think of the following:

It's a real life roundhouse and railway historical park, but there is a garden railway and in one of the smaller buildings you'll find the layouts of the MAV model railway club. (most of the members are retired railway workers and they usually donate their home layouts to the club, so currently they have more layouts than members and space to display them all)
