The Thorne Miniature Rooms represent a fascinating world on a tiny scale. Created at an exacting scale of one inch to one foot, several of the rooms replicate actual rooms found in the United States and Europe, while the remainder were inspired by the architecture and interior design of their respective periods and countries. Using these miniature scenes for inspiration, visitors will have an opportunity to create their own miniature, three-dimensional paper rooms that reflect the spaces that are important to them.
