THE MINI-TIME MACHINE Museum of Miniatures
DISCOVER A BIG WORLD OF SMALL DELIGHTS
The Mini-Time Machine Museum of Minatures is a 15,560 sq ft. state-of-the-art museum displaying an entertaining and interactive array of antique and concemporary miniatures as well as enchanting artifacts. This wonderful collection appeals to visitors of all ages, interests and telents. The museum is the first to be built in the United States specifically for the purpose of showcasing miniatures.
The museum is called The Mini-Time Machine because you will be seemingly transported to different lands and times, both real and imagined, through the history and stories of the miniatures in this collection.
There are over 200 houses and room boxes in our collection. The collection is organized into three main areas:
Exploring the World
Here you will enjoy a wide variety of miniatures from other countries and cultures depicting life from the 1400s to current times.
The History Gallery
In this gallery you will find antique miniatures from the late 1700s through the mid-1950s. These artifacts allow us a glimpse into life in years past and demostrate how miniatures were used in different eras.
The Enchanted Realm
The Enchanted Realm holds special appeal for children and the young at heart. Fantasy based miniatures and collectibles are found in this gallery.
The Mini-Time Machine is a magical place. Our resident fairy, Caitlin,watches over things. You might see her throughout the galleries.
The Mini-Time Machine Museum of Miniatures is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Pat and Walter Arnell. All proceeds, including admission, membership and sales of merchindise go towards funding the museum’s operations.
