Museum city

A "museum city" was a municipality, or part of one, devoted to recreating the sights, sounds and smells of a previous era of that municipality.


 * It has not been revealed, in pro or fan fiction, when these first were created. It seems probable that these were established during Earth's long recovery from World War III and the post-Atomic Horror. Such museum cities were probably similar in nature to in the 21st century.

One of the oldest was known as "Old City San Francisco", near the Telegraph Hill district. ( novelization)

New York City had a few museum cities recreating different eras. One was in the Harlem district, recreating the ambience of the city's "Harlem Renaissance" period of the 1930s. (: "Nearly a Valediction")

By the late 24th century, some parts of Paris were "museum cities". A newly-minuted Captain William Riker and his former commanding officer, Captain Jean-Luc Picard, were in one of these when they happened upon the mysterious bar known as "The Captain's Table."
