Museum of Miniature Dollhouses

Wooden shelves crowd this cross-section museum with dollhouses cut open to show every room. A blue Victorian villa reveals a canopied bedroom and curved staircase labeled "Victorian Villa 1880," beside a "Georgian Manor" parlor with a red sofa and lit chandelier. A half-timbered Tudor house and a green cottage sit among shelf units signed "Library" and "Arts & Crafts Cottage," each fitted with tiny bookcases and armchairs. Glass cases on the right, marked "Cabinet of Curiosities," hold rows of miniature jugs, plates and tools, next to a "Miniature Garden" tank of tiny ferns and red flowers. A model Japanese house sits open-sided in an aquarium-like case at the far right. Painted signs reading "The Museum of Miniatures" and "Gallery of Dollhouses" hang above the crowded shelving. Every dollhouse and cabinet holds its own small world, so the wall breaks into dozens of little rooms to match back to their houses.
