Whether it's history, art, architecture, interior design or simply a fascination with small, everyone will be captivated by the tiny rooms, functional tools, toys, art objects, re-creations of rare furniture and scale replicas of some of the world's finest historical structures. No one brings them to life more than the woman who has devoted her life to educating the public about the age-old art form.
