I have long been fascinated with the Museum's collection of miniatures. The collection numbers around 250 pieces and currently, only a handful are on view at anyone time.
I hope in the future we can remedy that because even those these little treasures are only 2 or 3 inches big, the details are so interesting and amazing. For example, the piece above definitely caught my eye (pun intended) when it was on view a few months ago.
If you would like to take a gander at some of these pieces yourself, head to Gallery P27 on the Museum's first floor for The Sitter and the Setting on view through November.
