Chicago artist recreates rooms in miniature form

Chicago-based artist Henry Kupjack is a master at making tiny rooms. His creations are so detailed they seemingly bring historical rooms to life. CBS News correspondent Dean Reynolds met up with Kupjack to find out how it's done.

Hank Kupjack recent passing is a huge loss to the miniature world. His work, as well as his father's will be cherished for a very long time to come.

Nice video. My sister & I like visiting the Art Institute of Chicago while in Chicago. The Miniature replica rooms are among our favorite exhibits to gaze at while at the Art Institute of Chicago. Henry Kupjack has done an excellent job with his art work, and it's appreciated by me & many people.

Why wasn't Ms. Thorne mentioned at all???

[@museummarg]

This is absolutely disgusting. Giving the credit to a man?? The room has her name on it!

Ha ha , Thorne Who ?..... yes @@museummarg its CBS & just more fake news !! .... In the age of information ignorance is a choice ~

[@ShanicornBeauty]

I was thinkin that too.

@@museummarg Eugene Kupjack handcrafted all of the elements and assembled them, while Mrs. Thorne designed the rooms working from photos. Arguably his work on each room was more irreplaceable. The original idea for the rooms came from Montgomery Ward, not Mrs Thorne, as they were advertising displays at the '39 World's Fair.
