    • It was a hundred years ago, and it was yesterday... What kind of life did our grandparents lead before the First World War?

      This is what this unusual museum tells its story, using miniature 1/12th scale displays that meticulously depict peasant or bourgeois interiors before the First World War.
      You will also see amazing dioramas that will take you on a tour of abandoned, ruined places.


      It's a unique, magical place, an absolute must-see.


      You will take a journey into the past, exploring different regions of France while simultaneously reliving your childhood in the magical world of miniatures. You will discover peasant interiors and everyday objects of yesteryear, but in Gulliver's world, on the scale of a doll's house...

    Greetings! What a fantastic Miniature Museum! Upon entering, you'll find a charming and welcoming lady. I'd like to share my impressions: after the reception area, which also serves as the lady's workshop and artist's studio... another door she opens, immersing you in an unexpected dimension... The Miniature Museum... This is where it all begins... Create your own story of what happens in each room of a house from bygone days, a miniature replica of life as it once was. I can't wait to see the evolution of the castle... And then there's her tribute to the painter Hammershøi, who transformed a painting into a room with such depth of field that it's like a living painting! I'm eager to return! Sincerely, Best regards, Oskale
