Over the summer I was lucky enough to visit the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys. You can find their website HERE.
Set in a beautiful historic cottage, the Museum contained treasures I'd only seen in miniature magazines. Staff was friendly and super helpful. After spending hours touring the museum, I managed to spend another hour in their gift shop. If you're ever in Denver, you should definitely make time for a visit.
My biggest surprise was being able to see "Somewhere in Time" created by Bill Lankford in 1989. I cannot tell you how often I admired the photos in Nutshell News that featured it and I could hardly contain my excitement to see it in person. Here are a few pictures:
Another favorite by artisans Noel and Pat Thomas from 1978:

There are dollhouses and room boxes of all styles and sizes. The museum is also super kid friendly. Treasures are tucked safely behind glass, and there was an actual working Nintendo game console from the 1990's that kept my 13 year old son busy when he was done with the exhibits.
