A rooftop sidecar exhibit with hand-cranked mechanics and weatherproof interactives — turning a terrace into a working gallery with a view.
The rooftop Mountain View Terrace is part of MOXI’s whole-museum refresh, which follows the museum’s Exhibition Master Plan and will replace roughly 20% of its permanent exhibits over the next few years. This phase of the refresh was completed in June 2025.
What success looked like
Success was turning MOXI's rooftop into a working gallery — hand-cranked mechanics with a mountain view, delivered in the June 2025 refresh. The museum now pitches it with an enthusiasm that speaks for itself:
“Chugga chugga choo choo! All aboard! Overlooking the local Amtrack train station, MOXI’s Mountain View Terrace is designed to celebrate the train!”
