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.
I was taken to see these as a small child and loved them. My late mother purchased 2 books about them that show each room in black and white. Seeing them again in color after 40 years was a huge treat. I just wish they gave move time to really enjoy each room instead of just a few seconds.
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.
I have visited the Thorne Collection at the Phoenix Art Museum many, many times. The rooms I have seen are absolutely exquisite. So perfect in every detail. Thank you for sharing this collection. Truly a feast for the eyes and the soul...
works of art!Tudor, baroque, Louis XIV, chippendale,rococo, georgian,regency, victorian, deco etc...such realistic reconstructions! They are based on real prototypes I assume. Bravo!!!
some of the rooms look 18th and 19th century their very beautiful id have great fun playing with these rooms with little dolls dressed in the costumes of that time also the music is beautiful to i can imagin floating and whirling along in time to it at some grand ball in a lavish ballgown
i was in Chicago a few weeks ago to visit my grad student daughter.being from Minnesota i spent a lot of time saying "wow thats big" but went she took me to see these i did a "wow those are small" and in eye watering detail. more that just a doll house i think these are even better than photos or paintings of rooms depicting a long lost way of life.
+wetcanoedogs These are so wonderful. I do miniatures for a hobby, but nothing compared to these. I am from MN too, but originally from Milwaukee WI. Have you been to the Milwaukee Public Museum ? I wish that MN would have museums like they do. The one's they call Museums in MN. are just big modern buildings full of nothing but empty space.
Hi..i moved to Mn many years ago, i think all those empty white museums are because the state does things in that sleek modern Swedish style. or maybe they just don't have enough stuff to fill in the space!
I agree! That room represents an English reception room between the years 1625-1655, and was modelled on two rooms inside Wilton House; the “Double Cube Room” (finished in 1653) and the “Single Cube Room” (finished around 1635-1640).
@tess123789 yeah i read the 68 rooms first and it really inspired me to look this up and stuff. these are soooo incredible i just wish with all my heart that they were real!
is that the book where pepole shrink down to dolls size and walk through the rooms if they were real sized rooms i have that book not yet read it it came yestarday from ebay

Same!!! And I loved how they had the little steps so you could see into these rooms... Even if you were really small...
This was definitely a walk down memory lane for me... Almost 40 years ago!
@@candilc we must be about the same age! My mom had a book about it she bought there. I used to sit and look at the photos all the time.

I'm in love with the exquisite room at 6:04. Beautiful.

I love the Thorne rooms and Colleen Moores castle.
