The whole set of the THE THORNE MINIATURE ROOMS

The 68 Thorne Miniature Rooms enable one to glimpse elements of European interiors from the late 13th century to the 1930s and American furnishings from the 17th century to the 1930s. Painstakingly constructed on a scale of one inch to one foot, these fascinating models were conceived by Mrs. James Ward Thorne of Chicago and constructed between 1932 and 1940 by master craftsmen according to her specifications.

Ad opera di Narcissa Niblack Thorne, moglie di James Ward Thorne, le Thorne Rooms (68), in scala 1:12; sono oggi esposte presso The Art Institute of Chicago e permettono di ricostruire, nei minimi dettagli e in ordine cronologico, gli ambienti interni delle abitazioni europee dalla fine del 13° secolo al 1930 e gli ambienti delle case americane dal 17° secolo al 1930.

I'm reading a book called "The Sixty-Eight Rooms", it's amazing, if you like the Thorne rooms, I'm sure you'll like this. I like 2:15 and 5:01

If I didn't know better, I would have thought that I'm looking at pictures of life-size rooms !!! The details are amazing. The craftmanship is superb.

Thanks for sharing.

These are stunning,

I really could not believe some of these were real. A few looked like paintings at a first glance.

Absolutely beautiful.

These are amazing, any time I have ever been to the Art Institute, and from a very young age I might add, I would spend hours staring into these rooms.
