Visiting The Mini Time Machine Museum in Tucson

The Mini Time Machine Museum is a museum of miniatures in Tucson. It’s organized into three main galleries: The Enchanted Realm, History Gallery and Exploring the World Gallery. You will find miniature dollhouses, room boxes, and other collectibles in each gallery. Old and young alike are fascinated by exploring all the details in the numerous miniature displays. The Enchanted Realm is a magical place that houses all things imaginary. You’ll find historical miniatures in the History Gallery. Various cultures (Europen, American, and Asian) are represented in the World Gallery. Here are a few things to know when visiting the Mini Time Machine Museum.
