Seems like the miniature craze has taken over the art/design industries so much so that the Murphy and Dine Gallery has decided to open an exhibition devoted entirely to it.
The 'Small Is Beautiful' exhibit at the Murphy and Dine Gallery is centered specifically around mini city structures, and showcases five artists' works. Curated by Scion and Theme Magazine, these mini creations address such topics as childhood, urbanism and cultural diversity.
