The Baha'i House of Worship in Wilmette, Ill., is one of 80 Chicago-area landmarks displayed in miniature at the Wonderland Express at the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe, Ill. On display Nov. 28 through Jan. 4, the 10,000-square-foot exhibit features miniature trains that wend their way around landmarks and waterfalls by way of bridges and trestles.

All the miniature landmarks are individually crafted from natural materials. The replica of the Baha'i temple took three weeks to create and is made entirely of plant materials including lichen and banana stems; the dome is made of a calabash gourd.
