Tierra Santa is a theme park in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that features a life size recreation of the Holy Land! A rich ethnographic space--I personally washed the feet of Jesus, observed the last supper, and dined on Holy Land pizza. It was amazing. I went during Holy Week, so entire families were out interacting with this visual/narrative/diorama. The AMNH wants to preserve, while this place wants to make a believed-but-not-seen past into a present, material truth. I went to here six months ago, and I still can't stop thinking about Tierra Santa.
