Taj Mahal - Agra , India

Welcome to India!

Here is another of the New 7 Wonders of the World on MMF!

The Taj Mahal, located on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra, was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

This impressive ivory-white marble mausoleum was designated in 1983 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for being “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage”(description by MiniWorld collaborator Angelo D'Angelo).

This model was created in 2017 by MiniWorld3D founder & lead 3D artist Dany Sánchez.

MiniWorld3D is excited to bring this model to life as a homage to all the people of Agra and India. This model was created from scratch by hand and brain in parametric software to ensure printability, using photographs and blueprints to create a beautiful and stylized version of your favorite landmarks. Please give credit, it's all about spreading culture!
