Miniature Museum

The Miniature Museum was located at the AMC hospital in Amsterdam. It has since moved, and at the moment there are negotiations with a major Dutch museum to provide the new location. The Miniature Museum was founded by Ria and Lex Daniels in 1992

Visitors

The museum has attracted more than 1.000.000 visitors up until now. The money made by the sale of the catalogue has been donated to the Medical Cancer Research Foundation. With this they have provided the foundation with more than 100.000 USD. In the last Guinness book of records the museum has been mentioned as the smallest museum of the world. Next year the museum is planning to bring out a new version of the catalogue.
