Delaware Art Museum ~ Materpieces in Miniature 2008 – 2009
The Delaware Art Museum has a unique show at the end of each year called MASTERPIECES IN MINIATURE. This exhibition is made possible, in part, by grants from the Delaware Division of the Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. Miniaturists select a work of art from the museum’s galleries. They then create a miniature in a room box of that artwork. Above: miniature doll and room box created by Deborah Mackie based on the painting The Peacock Robe by George Watson Barratt.

What a fantastic display..
Were you there? I wish there were more mini museum in Singapore. Sometime back, someone here did a Singapore river scene in the 50s but alas, its gone before I have a chance to see it..Thank you for posting these!
I wish I were there, but I have never been to Delaware, let alone their museum!
Did you see the flowers I arranged for you in my last post(not sure if you have read, this is not a shameless plug plzz) I picked that ornament for you ;)
Very detailed and beautiful works. Thank you for sharing.

I was just curious, which camera do u use?
I remember my grandmother took me to this when I was little (we live in Washington DC, so it was too close to pass up!) It was a wonderful experience to have as a young child, and something I will always treasure. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates miniatures or dollhouses, and I only wish I could visit now!
