Did you know that Charles and Ray Eames designed a toy dollhouse for Revell in 1955? It never went into production but many other modern dollhouses did. This exhibition features some of the more significant designs as well as a range of mid-century modern furnishings that helped establish the modern design aesthetic at home and empower kids to learn about architecture and interior design.
Curated by Claremont's own David Shearer with many pieces from his own collection. You now have an opportunity to view and even own the dollhouse you always wanted as a kid.
