Meet The Master Of Miniature Worlds

The Miniature Museum in Lyon displays exciting places shrunken down to dollhouse size. From Maxim’s Restaurant in Paris to the Natural History Museum in Berlin: They’re all faithful to their originals, but tiny. Artist Dan Ohlmann has made these kinds of miniatures his lifes work. He turns special places into realistic tiny replicas. He even opened a museum to showcase them. We went to Lyon in France to walk through these remarkable tiny worlds.

Why is looking at miniatures so calming?

[@angels5th873]

Makes me feel more in control of life... makes my problems seem...smaller!!!!

[@clydoscope5841]

The feeling of spaces

[@minifoodfeast6203]

I think miniature is the best way to live a stress free life,

[@davidcollins2648]

Good question. I've been doing nothing but painting minis since retiring 5 years ago. It's relaxing and gratifying.

[@captainfighter7666]

Makes me feel like I have more power and control over something I guess? Its kinda calming to know that you could Dominate everything around you and nothing would ever bother you.

[@Durrpadil]

There is so much charm in this art. I never get tired of it 😎😎😎

[@GladysRWhite]

I wish you would make a more detailed film of his work! So interesting!

[@zakiradi450]

Been here twice! Absolutely love it! And always so thrilled to be in Lyon :)

[@sarahsaavedra4732]

WHAT?! I'm officially OBSESSED!!!!

[@DavidRLentz]

Merci beau coup, Messieur! Tres bien, tres beau! I wish that my French were better. Your work is exemplary beyond compare! I have a keen interest in building scale model kits. I prefer them in 1:25th scale. (Most other common scales, e.g., 1:32, 1:48, 1:72, ,etc., derive from outdated measuring systems (inches, feet, etc.). The best place to start is 1:100th scale, for it readily lends itself to the metric system, which simplifies conversion from the real world to one's model; then one can develop others from that baseline. The history of the miniature intrigues me immensely. I especially enjoy viewing--well, no: closely perusing! I am very myopic; without my glasses, my eyes lose focus round 10 cm (4") away!--large, complex tableaux and dioramas, e.g., several score 70 mm figurines of people, horses, etc., in ornate, brightly coloured apparel, equipage, etc., depicting a dramatic event in history; similarly sized forms in grim conflict, such as ground combat whilst slogging through the mud; or pastoral serenity. However, I would prefer to avoid all that meticulous handiwork. I prefer to build model kits, and to use the various materials from model railroading, e.g., Plastruct molded sheets representing various surfaces, and extruded polystyrene strip stock in a wide assortment of dimensions; in this latter, I include Evergreen, too.

Even though such impressively done miniatures could already be done through 3D printing tech the world has now, more impressive of course when it's all done manually. Marvelous details. 👌

[@alessandrogoggio]

It’s not the same thing. Materials, reflections, details... the 3D printer can be very useful but cannot replicate everything and not in that way. And it takes longer in the end because you have to 3D build something before and that alone is a step that makes you loose details.

[@gillesbueno1153]

Visit this museum ! I got the chance to visit it ! It is located in the old neighborhood of Lyon, Surrounded by other wonderful things to visit and very nice and rather cheap restaurants too ! Lyon is a VERY interesting city to visit.

[@small-calvillo8583]

I love his spirit - but for me, the detail is really lacking. The depth and the weight of certain things just are not there. No feeling, lifeless.
