What is the "World of Miniature Photography Exhibition"?

Miniature models are so elaborately made that they look like the real thing. Each work is a condensed version of the artist's worldview, in which he or she has paid attention to every detail. Usually, most people think of a "miniature art exhibition" only as an exhibition of miniature works, but this exhibition is even more elaborate, with photographic works on display at the same time. The artist creates miniatures of landscapes and objects that he or she wants to express, and then photographs and expresses these miniatures.


If models are long in time, photography is a momentary, once-in-a-lifetime art form. "If you look at it thinking it is a photograph, it is a fictional world that has been created." In this exhibition, we invite visitors to get lost in the world of miniatures by displaying both photographic and three-dimensional works at the same time. In addition, since photography is allowed throughout the museum, visitors can take pictures from a variety of angles to capture and post their own unique piece on SNS.
