Miniatures: A Reflection of History
Special Exhibit, Wednesdays & Saturdays in February (1-4 PM or by appointment)
 

Miniatures have captured the fancy of artists and devotees of the arts for centuries, whether porcelain kitties or miniature portraits.  Children are especially fascinated by seeing everyday objects reduced to their size.

Scale model miniatures (1” to 1’  or ½” to 1’  or even ¼” to 1’) help us to recreate whole rooms, scenes, and even houses as reflections of events, settings, and times that are meaningful to us.  From the art deco rooms of the 1920’s and 30’s, to a 50’s soda parlor, to a 4th of July picnic, miniatures help to remind us of our own personal history as well as that of the times. 

A couple of vintage doll houses simply remind us of the hours spent creating our own little families and the worlds they inhabited. 

Come and visit this special exhibit to relive memories and share them with a child or grandchild.  Also, be prepared to be  amazed at the craftsmanship and detail presented in each of these exhibits.  Don’t miss this great exhibit!  For information, call Carole Ann Davis (510)501-3957.
