Miniatures Museum of Taiwan

This guide to the Miniatures Museum of Taiwan traces the story of a Victorian mansion demolished in Los Angeles and reborn in miniature by an American graduate student named Reginald Twigg. It follows Twigg's appeal for funding in a hobbyist magazine, and how a retired Taiwanese engineer named Lin Wen-jen, an unlikely collector of dollhouses, answered it. Look for the lace curtains and staircase detail on the mansion behind the glass.
