There's More to
Miniatures...
As long as human history has been recorded,
people have built miniature images of items imagined and
real, from animals and gods to architectural renderings and
children's toys. Small-scale replicas have enabled us to
remember, to create, to worship and to dream.
Over the centuries scale miniatures grew into a highly
specialized artform in their own right. The shared passion
of a growing community of admiring collectors, skilled
artisans and networks of dedicated hobbyists who gather at
shows and conventions, form national organizations, and talk
about miniatures everywhere from neighborhood parties to
Internet chat rooms. Whether it’s dolls, soldiers, trains,
boats, airplanes or houses, enthusiasts have a clear
commonality – the desire for and love of the exquisite
beauty of miniatures.
In support of this growing community, the National
Miniatures Trust -- a non-profit, charitable organization --
was formed in 2003 to enrich and expand the national
miniatures community -- its collectors and collections,
businesses and charities, artists and publications, museums
and publications. Our goal is to help the miniatures
community grow through better communication, education and a
variety of community-serving programs.

enriching and expanding the
community of miniatures.

Mack presents an argument not only
for the aesthetic beauty of
smallness, but also for its cultural
potency. Throughout history and
across all continents, small-scale
representations of the world and the
things it contains have been used
for a huge variety of symbolic
purposes, from the magical to the
monetary.
