To the opening hours More aboutour collectionMiniatures 1:12Perfection in miniatureThe miniatures tell real or fictitious stories of various kinds with impressive attention to detail and are constructed in a 1:12 scale. It is with this contemporary spin on the art of the dollhouse that the Spielzeug Welten Museum Basel fosters the art of modern dollhouse construction.CarrouselsThe world goes round and roundThe various carousels and carnival rides in the collection of the Spielzeug Welten Museum Basel constitute another special attraction. Some emulate the originals right down to the last detail, and all of them can be set in motion at the touch of a button.Old doll’s housesAt home in the dollhouse worldThe precious rarities from two centuries are records of a bygone era. They impressively convey the domestic culture, home environment, and self-image of earlier generations. Imagination and attention to detail make them real show-stoppers.
