Thorne Miniature Rooms

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“possibly the best thing at the art institute — if you were a weird little girl with an antique Victorian dollhouse full of antique doll furniture or currently wish you were an inch tall, you will enjoy this.”
