For decades, old dolls' houses have fascinated not only tourists in toy museums, but also historians, researchers of culture and social change, architects, set designers and collectors. There is an extraordinary charm and enchantment in the old miniature interiors that makes almost no one pass by them indifferently. Some people are interested in the technical aspect - how are these miniature houses made, what materials were used to build them and how was such a small lamp "drawn with an equally small current"? Other audiences are attracted by the historical atmosphere of the interiors, the period costumes, the meticulously recreated everyday details - extraordinary documents of times gone by. Many people marvel at the artistry, craftsmanship, ingenuity and patience of the creators of these filigree worlds. Whatever the reason for their curiosity - one thing is certain, the houses transport us back in time - to other times, other fashions and tastes, ways of living, homemaking and leisure activities. They spread a charm that is hard to resist.
