At Music World, we are bringing the electrifying energy of 1930s New York City to life, allowing guests to step back in time and experience the golden age of jazz, Art Deco elegance, and the unstoppable rhythm of a city on the rise.
As one of Music World’s Time Travel Towns, the 1930s New York experience will immerse guests in an era of resilience, artistic revolution, and musical innovation. From the neon glow of Times Square to the underground speakeasies where jazz legends reigned, every detail will capture the soul of the city that never sleeps.
A Stroll Through Time
Guests will wander through cobblestone streets lined with towering Art Deco skyscrapers, their facades glowing with the golden hues of a city that defined ambition. The hum of streetcars, the calls of bustling vendors, and the sounds of honking Model A Fords will transport visitors to a time when New York was shaping the future. The city’s skyline will be recreated with breathtaking authenticity, featuring landmarks like the Chrysler Building and Radio City Music Hall, each a stunning tribute to 1930s architecture.
The Jazz Revolution Lives On
At the heart of the experience lies the Harlem Jazz Club, a hidden gem where guests will step into a world of swinging brass and soulful melodies. Inspired by legendary venues like the Cotton Club and the Savoy Ballroom, this intimate space will feature live performances that capture the sounds of Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, and Count Basie. Guests will have the chance to take the stage, join a jam session, or simply soak in the magic of the Roaring ’30s.
The Energy of Broadway
No visit to 1930s New York would be complete without the glamour of Broadway.

Interactive experiences will allow guests to step into rehearsals, experience behind-the-scenes magic, and become part of a classic 1930s musical number, complete with dazzling costumes and chorus lines.
The Underground Speakeasies
Prohibition may have ended, but the allure of the underground speakeasy will live on. Guests will have the chance to uncover hidden, password-protected lounges tucked behind bookcases and unmarked doors. Inside, live jazz, craft cocktails (mocktails included), and whispered stories of the past will create an atmosphere of mystery and excitement, bringing the rebellious spirit of the era back to life.
Newsboys, Dancers, and the Spirit of the City
Throughout the streets, newsboys will shout the latest headlines, dancers will perform the Charleston and Lindy Hop, and the sights and sounds of a bygone era will come alive.

Ever wondered why a medieval city core makes you feel at ease while a sprawling modern metropolis feels overwhelming? The answer lies in the balance of proportions—a principle rooted in classical design and human scale. Music World, an innovative concept that marries music and time travel, is built on these timeless principles, offering guests not just entertainment but a profound sensory experience.
Designed for the Human Experience
Music World embodies the design philosophy found in historic cities like Rome, Oxford, and Quebec, where streets are walkable, buildings are intimate in scale, and the human connection to the environment is central. These cities draw people in because they resonate with the human body, not the automobile. Similarly, Music World’s 11 towns, each representing a different decade, are structured with proportions that delight the senses and foster comfort, curiosity, and joy.
The towns are thoughtfully laid out in Golden Ratio Districts, a unique feature inspired by the ancient mathematical principle of 1.618. This ratio, often referred to as the divine proportion, is a hallmark of beauty and harmony. It has guided the design of some of the world’s most iconic works, from the Parthenon to Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Vitruvian Man,’ and now, Music World.
A Symphony of Scale and Proportions
Each of Music World’s 11 towns spans 10 acres, with 3 acres devoted to immersive, artist-focused experiences. The towns are designed to evoke a sense of wonder and belonging, much like medieval city centers. Streets are wide enough for vibrant interactions, and every building’s scale corresponds to its intended use, creating an environment that feels natural and inviting.
The centerpiece of the park is a stunning 20-acre reproduction of the Versailles Gardens, meticulously crafted to provide balance and wellness. This lush sanctuary, much like the iconic gardens of France, is a testament to the enduring power of thoughtful proportions and human-centric design.
Marrying Music and Mathematics
Music World takes the idea of harmony beyond music, embedding it into every aspect of its design. Just as a symphony balances rhythm and melody, the park balances historical inspiration with modern innovation. Every building and space within Music World is 3D-printed with eco-friendly materials, ensuring sustainability without sacrificing beauty.
Proportions are not just about aesthetics; they create spaces that feel right. For example, towering skyscrapers may evoke unease, while mountains inspire awe because they harmonize with their natural surroundings. Similarly, Music World’s design ensures every space resonates with its purpose, creating a feeling of harmony for its Guests.
A Stage for Storytelling
Every corner of Music World has a story to tell. From the meticulously designed facades to the hidden details within each district, the park is an immersive canvas for artistic expression. The interactive experiences with legendary music artists are more than just entertainment; they are carefully curated moments where Guests become part of the narrative. Whether stepping into the bustling jazz scene of the 1920s or experiencing the vibrant culture of the 1980s, every interaction is a tribute to the timeless influence of music.
Innovation Rooted in Tradition
While Music World embraces cutting-edge technology, such as 3D printing and renewable energy sources, its design remains rooted in the traditions of classical architecture and urban planning. This duality ensures that the park feels both futuristic and familiar. The use of eco-friendly materials and sustainable practices reflects a commitment to innovation that aligns with the park’s guiding principles of balance and harmony. It’s a vision of progress that respects the beauty of the past.
Inspiring a New Era of Theme Parks
Music World isn’t just redefining what a theme park can be; it’s setting a new standard for experiential design. By prioritizing proportions, harmony, and the human experience, it offers a model for creating spaces that resonate deeply with visitors. It’s not just about entertainment—it’s about connection, inspiration, and transformation. As Guests journey through decades of music and culture, they are reminded that beauty, like music, transcends time.
By focusing on human scale, harmonious design, and the universal language of music, Music World promises to be a destination that enriches the soul and captivates the imagination. It’s a place where past and future meet, where artistry and mathematics converge, and where Guests can truly “Be Happy.”
