Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures

Quite a mouthful, but it's a real place.  This is in central Tucson, about 45 minutes from our house and it was a very nice museum.  Of tiny things.  Mainly "dollhouses" and decked out with furniture, rugs, paintings, and food.  But plenty of other miniature displays too.



This was the front door to the museum.  Notice the tiny miniature front door right next to it.  The little door didn't open.  I tried.


My favorite display was this tiny pottery studio!


These carvings are on the tips of pencils.  There were three of these artists that do this kind of work and this was a temporary exhibit, but fascinating.  We had magnifying glasses to really see the carving in detail.


This hand holding a hammer was on the head of a contractor's flat pencil, so wider graphite for carving.
