Friends, I just got back from the Kentucky Gateway Museum and I want to share with you my photographs and impressions while they are so vivid in my mind. The Kentucky Gateway Museum Center houses the KSB Miniature Collection, or what I commonly refer to as the miniature dollhouse museum.

Now the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center houses the KSB Miniature Collection, or what I commonly refer to as the miniature dollhouse museum.

And yes indeed they already have tulips!

Now it's nice that there were tulips to see, but the real draw of the Kentucky Gateway Museum is the miniature dollhouse collection pieces valued at over 200 million bucks!

Way back in the olden days back before Xbox and video games, folks with means would spend money and commission the creation of miniature dollhouse pieces as toys for their children to play with.

I have to say that this collection is enormous. There are just literally so many miniature rooms that are jam-packed full of miniature items. In addition, I was told that all of the miniature items work. For instance, a pair of scissors will cut just like they do in real life!

I think the expression and detail on the old woman's face is exquisite.

Typically with most of the model dollhouses, the front will look like a normal exterior, but the back of the house will have the exterior wall removed so the observer can look within the home and see the different rooms full of miniature items.

The interior of this house is divided into 14 different rooms. As you can see this allows many items of different themes to be displayed in a realistic manner.

I'm very glad that I took these pictures because I can now, at my leisure, zoom in and study the details presented which in real physical life it was much harder to concentrate on the minutiae.

Leading up to the trip, I scoffingly teased my daughter about not wanting to go to see a bunch of doll houses. However, having seen the outstanding exhibition, I can truthfully say it was quite the experience and that I am thankful that I was able to see this all firsthand.

It is slowly dawning on me that this will have to be at least a two-part post. As much as I hate doing it that way, the sheer amount of cool photography subjects demand it.
