The Doll's House | Te Whare Tāre

In association with the Lower Hutt Miniature Maker's Club, this exhibition presents a selection of dolls' houses and miniatures that have to be seen to be believed. From the tiny to the towering, prepare to be enchanted!

Share Katherine Mansfield's delight in detail and the thrill felt by the characters in her beloved story 'The Doll's House' at seeing their world reproduced on a small scale:

"It was too marvellous; it was too much for them. They had never seen anything like it in their lives. All the rooms were papered. There were pictures on the walls, painted on the paper, with gold frames complete. Red carpet covered all the floors except the kitchen; red plush chairs in the drawing-room, green in the dining room; tables, beds with real bedclothes, a cradle, a stove, a dresser with tiny plates and one big jug." (‘The Doll’s House’)

The exhibition included in admission to the house.
