As scale modelers, we love our own collections of hand-built models and undoubtedly admire the craftsmanship and history that goes along with them. The hobby of model-building itself has a long and rich history, and AK Interactive has put that history on display at the AK Museum in La Rioja, Spain.
With exhibits detailing the history of scale model building beginning in 700000 BC through the present, AK has curated an amazing collection of models and dioramas from all ove rthe world. Not only are plastic kits on display, but they also highlight wooden, metal, paper, and resin models.
Beyond showcasing the materials used to make models, the AK Museum also highlights several genres of modeling, including military, aircraft, figures, sci-fi, naval, and more. If you have had an interest in model building for years, or you've just gotten into the hobby, this looks like an amazing "bucket list" destination.
