There’s something about tiny things that elicit big feelings—nostalgia, childlike wonder, and intense longing, to name a few. Whether it’s an antique dollhouse chair or a shampoo bottle the size of a thumbnail, there’s a fascination for them that’s prehistoric in origin. (Quite literally, the earliest known miniatures were created by the ancient Egyptians 5,000 years ago.)⁠ ⁠ Recently, social media has brought this subculture to the fore, bringing “miniacs” together online while simultaneously unearthing hidden gems of miniature art museums across the country that have been hiding in plain sight. From a roaming museum in NYC that features 32 miniature artists from around the world to a Kentucky gem that has over 200 dollhouses, check our link in bio for more on these mini art museums. ⁠ ⁠ 📸: mokimini⁠ ⁠ #art #tinyart #miniatures #minimuseums #tinymuseums #museums #artwork #miniart
