Small Worlds: Doll Houses from the Shane Collection Opening Party

Enter a world of 30 miniature houses, rooms, farms—and even a trolley diner—from the collection of miniaturist Nancy Shane. Peek through the windows of elegant, but tiny, Federal-and Victorian-period style houses. Be amazed by hand-painted wallpaper in a miniature 1820s-style parlor, an expertly detailed English-style country house and pub, a Wenham Lake Roadside Stand, sea-side vacation cottage, and more…oh, what a wonderful (miniature) world! Children create their own Small World as they play in our child-friendly dollhouse.
