Miniature Buildings
Some thoughts on building models of all types and sizes
Welcome. If you have not visited Minature Buildings before can I suggest you begin with my Aims and Scope article or at the Home Page. If you have visited before - welcome back. I hope this article is of interest to you.
Cathédraloscope
The modelling highlight of our 2022 trip to Brittany was the "Cathédraloscope" museum of cathedral construction at Dol de Bretagne. My photos, taken during a slightly rushed visit, do not do justice to either the detail or the quantity of what is on display. Models displayed not just for their own sake as reproductions of prototypes but as structured explanation of how cathedrals were constructed. Traditional models of course but also virtual 3D modelling. And some simpler storytelling models aimed at children but fun for adults too. There are more photos and commentary in my dedicated Cathédraloscope article , on Cathédraloscope's own website and in a YouTube video.
