100 Film Sets Are Packed Into One French Museum – Hyperrealistic Miniature Art At Its Best
The Musée Miniature et Cinéma in France features over 100 miniature film sets from world-renowned miniaturists. The pieces are true replicas in minuscule proportions of vintage film sets. At first glance, the audience is deceived into believing the tiny scenes are life-size spaces.
The displays are meticulously constructed; no details are excluded. The presence of stacks of disheveled papers, to decades-old grime collecting on the polished hardwood walls, create the illusion of an original set. In addition, the existence of vital details, such as the peeled wallpaper, the scratched tiles, the dirty dishes under the sink, and other markers of imperfection accentuate the hyperrealistic model, which is fit for a small box.
Overall the craftsmanship of each design proves that miniature art demands perfection and exigent skilled artists.
The official website reaffirms the credibility and artistry of each miniature piece by confirming that “the subtle lighting arrangement, the painstaking replication of old textures, the use of the same original materials, all contribute to the creation of a moving poetry that resonates with each new miniature panorama”.
