Minis Magnified 

Miss Havisham Dome  

Minis Magnified is a monthly in-depth look at one of the miniatures in our collection written by our very own Museum Services Manager, Emily Wolverton. This month, we will look at the Miss Havisham Dome create by TMTM Founder, Pat Arnell.

 

"How appropriate then is this dome which houses her, a time capsule for a character whose very existence was frozen in time, self-condemned to misery."  Click here to read this article
