Toy & Miniature Museum of Kansas City - Part 3 - Miniature Dollhouses & Room Boxes

One section of the museum contained a series of miniature dollhouses.  The furniture cabinets were constructed at 1" = 1'-0" ( except for one inset down below) and the dollhouses are are 1:48 inside each piece of furniture.

The following house was built at 1:48 scale.  I can't even describe the amount of detail.  My wife pointed out the tiny display items on the shelves inside the house.

Here are a few of the many room boxes, they were also at 1"=1'-0" scale

This art deco jewelry store was on the cover of Miniature Collector not to long ago - it was even more impressive in person.  This spectacular display was commissioned to commemorate the museum's 30th Anniversary and was created by Susan Rogers and Kevin Mulvany 

The murals on the walls of this room were great.

My favorite room box was this very detailed architect's studio space.  There was also a video interview of the artist that created it.  He created every last detail from the sprinkler heads on the fire sprinkler system down to the trash and waste paper baskets.

There was an elaborate pulley system for the window shade on the sky light.

The architects office room box was two-sided.  The back wall of the studio was made to look like a giant old steel frame window and skylight.
