Models and miniatures

Official opening

Welcome to the opening of "Models and miniatures". Why are we so fascinated by models? Models are used for teaching, research, advertising and play – and they give us a way to explore and understand the world better on both a small and large scale. Speeches and dedication of the huge dollhouse. Serving buns and soft drinks.
