Dollhouses and miniatures from the 17th through early 20th centuries show the evolution of dollhouses from treasures for wealthy adults to colorful playthings for children.

This enchanting exhibition explores the tiny worlds that capture life's detail and stimulate the imagination.

- Discover a rare dollhouse from 1695.
- View “room dollhouses” that celebrate interior design history.
- Play with a hands-on Hape dollhouse.
- Meet celebrity doll Melissa Shakespeare, whose doll wedding was featured in Life magazine.
