Minature Museum

Miyuki, Michele and I went to the Taiwan Miniature Museum and enjoyed it a lot! I took tons of pictures but after I got home I realized that I had not given you a reference as to just how small these little houses were. If you look close you can see Miyuki's face through the window of the room in the second picture and this was one of the bigger houses. The third picture was from the back of the house. You could look at the front of the house then walk around to the back and see all the rooms fully furnished with carpets and hardwood floors and tile work. They had working lights. TVs and even a tiny miniature train that worked. If there was a newspaper you could read it. Tons of detail in every home. This one was of Buckingham Palace.

You could read all the book titles in this library. The guitar was awesome too.
 


This home had a  big fish tank on the wall that was really neat. There is also a bar on that same wall that had real looking miniature bottles with the exact labels on them. It had a sunken
 Living room.
  

The attic came with junk, dust and dirt just like a real attic.

This kitchen was the best. You could see into the pantry in the back and could see the flour sacks, Reynolds wrap and baking powder. Real Tile on the floor. Like I said the detail was amazing.
We decided that the kid who got this as a bedroom was very spoiled. The door in corner went out into a private little play yard with everything a child could want. 
There were also figurines and dolls and real carved egg shells. I fell in Love with this one of a Grandma and Grandpa with a child. I decided that it reminded me of Jim and I, because we are both getting old and  gray. Jim's hair is about as long as his and he has a mustache.


 I have been wanting to go to this museum for a long time but had never made it. I am glad we finally got to go before I left
Taiwan. It was too good to miss
