If you ever find yourself at the Art Institute of Chicago, you must carve time to go into the Thorne Minature Rooms in the basement. Dozens of rooms in wildly specific architectural and design styles from a range of locations and time periods.

“Teeny tiny, beautifully designed rooms at the Art Institute of Chicago. I could spend hours there, and would during my years living in the city.”

“The detail in these miniature dioramas is psychedelic. If you love tiny things you should travel to Chicago just for this”

“There's so much magic at the Art Institute of Chicago, but the Thorne Miniature Rooms seem like a secret. Don't sleep on this exhibit! The 68 rooms (scale of 1:12) are INCREDIBLE!”
