- The 68 Thorne Miniature Rooms enable one to glimpse elements of European interiors from the late 13th century to the 1930s and American furnishings from the 17th century to the 1930s. Painstakingly constructed on a scale of one inch to one foot, these fascinating models were conceived by Mrs. James Ward Thorne of Chicago and constructed between 1932 and 1940 by master craftsmen according to her specifications.

Ad opera di Narcissa Niblack Thorne, moglie di James Ward Thorne, le Thorne Rooms (68), in scala 1:12; sono oggi esposte presso The Art Institute of Chicago e permettono di ricostruire, nei minimi dettagli e in ordine cronologico, gli ambienti interni delle abitazioni europee dalla fine del 13° secolo al 1930 e gli ambienti delle case americane dal 17° secolo al 1930.

I was taken to see these as a small child and loved them. My late mother purchased 2 books about them that show each room in black and white. Seeing them again in color after 40 years was a huge treat. I just wish they gave move time to really enjoy each room instead of just a few seconds.
If I didn't know better, I would have thought that I'm looking at pictures of life-size rooms !!! The details are amazing. The craftmanship is superb.
Thanks for sharing.
These are amazing, any time I have ever been to the Art Institute, and from a very young age I might add, I would spend hours staring into these rooms.
Same!!! And I loved how they had the little steps so you could see into these rooms... Even if you were really small...
This was definitely a walk down memory lane for me... Almost 40 years ago!
@@candilc we must be about the same age! My mom had a book about it she bought there. I used to sit and look at the photos all the time.
@@deeprose4 do you remember when the Lions at the top of the stairs wore Bears Football Helmets?
I have visited the Thorne Collection at the Phoenix Art Museum many, many times. The rooms I have seen are absolutely exquisite. So perfect in every detail. Thank you for sharing this collection. Truly a feast for the eyes and the soul...
What majestic, celebratory living, doll fun! 💖👍💖
works of art!Tudor, baroque, Louis XIV, chippendale,rococo, georgian,regency, victorian, deco etc...such realistic reconstructions! They are based on real prototypes I assume. Bravo!!!
Absolutely gorgeous!
OUTSTANDING VIDEO!!

I live in Chicago & used to go to the Art Institute 3 times a month (sometimes every week)
I Miss It!
*Thank You*
They are incredible. We've seen them several times.They look like real rooms.
Who in the world could dislike this!!!!
Sad pathetic lonely trolls !
I love the Thorne rooms and Colleen Moores castle.
Absolutely beautiful.
Incredible!
some of the rooms look 18th and 19th century their very beautiful id have great fun playing with these rooms with little dolls dressed in the costumes of that time also the music is beautiful to i can imagin floating and whirling along in time to it at some grand ball in a lavish ballgown
Delightful! A feast for the eyes. I truly enjoyed this.
UNREAL!!! Absolutely stunning!
Astounding! Thank you.
I fyou like the thorne rooms you shoul sooo read the 68 rooms!!!! great book!
i was in Chicago a few weeks ago to visit my grad student daughter.being from Minnesota i spent a lot of time saying "wow thats big" but went she took me to see these i did a "wow those are small" and in eye watering detail.
more that just a doll house i think these are even better than photos or paintings of rooms depicting a long lost way of life.
+wetcanoedogs These are so wonderful. I do miniatures for a hobby, but nothing compared to these. I am from MN too, but originally from Milwaukee WI. Have you been to the Milwaukee Public Museum ? I wish that MN would have museums like they do. The one's they call Museums in MN. are just big modern buildings full of nothing but empty space.
Hi..i moved to Mn many years ago, i think all those empty white museums are because the state does things in that sleek modern Swedish style.
or maybe they just don't have enough stuff to fill in the space!
I'm in love with the exquisite room at 6:04. Beautiful.
I agree! That room represents an English reception room between the years 1625-1655, and was modelled on two rooms inside Wilton House; the “Double Cube Room” (finished in 1653) and the “Single Cube Room” (finished around 1635-1640).
Beautiful!
What fun she must have had creating these!!
And what money she must have spent creating these, too! Doll house is an expensive hobby....but I love it.
So amazing. Love dollhouses, have a very nice one myself. Want so much to see this in person since we are related . Catherine Torpestad Niblack
