A gothic church in miniature

Ever since I was a kid, the Art Institute has had this incredible display of miniature rooms created by Mrs. James Ward Thorne. There are 68 rooms designed by Mrs. Thorne and constructed with painstaking detail. Most of the rooms are living rooms in period and regional styles from both European and American traditions. This is a photograph of one of the more ornate rooms that first greets visitors to the exhibit. Were I able to eliminate those reflections from the frame, it would indeed be hard to tell that these spaces are no more than two feet tall!
