THE MINI TIME MACHINE MUSEUM

THE MINI TIME MACHINE MUSEUM OF MINIATURES’

2021 Exhibition Season Will Really Knock Your Socks Off!

Expect no less from a museum with the words ‘time machine’ in their name. This season they’ll take you back to the mid-century modern era with their featured exhibition:

Atomic Miniatures: Michael Yurkovic’s Modern

Musings and the creepy and the kooky spotlight exhibition; Ara Bentley’s Addams Family Mini Mansion. Atomic Miniatures will showcase miniatures made by acclaimed Chicago-based artist Michael Yurkovic, who is known for his midcentury leanings. Debuting with this exhibition will be the museum’s commission of a half-inch scale replica of the historic Tucson Ball-Paylore House. Built in 1952, this Tucson landmark is nationally recognized as an iconic example of mid-century and passive solar architecture. An exhibition of small-scale mid-century neon signs on loan from Ignite Sign Museum will make this presentation the bee’s knees. Mysterious and spooky, Texan Ara Bentley’s 1:12 scale Addams Family Mini Mansion is based on both the 1960s television series and the Addams Family movies from the 1990s. Ten years in the making, the plethora of details in this mini mansion make it altogether ooky. But it’s not all about mid-century. The museum will also be taking us back to ancient civilizations with Of Biblical Proportion: Legendary Rulers of Mesopotamia– a spotlight exhibit of quarter-lifesize Historical Figures by George Stuart. You’ll also want to cast an eyeball towards Jean LeRoy’s Buzzard Creek Ghost Town and Tori West’s Medley of Miniatures in Creative Paperclay. And, as is tradition, this holiday season the museum transforms into a Wee Winter Wonderland with their presentation of Holidays Around the World and Through Time. You’ll want to burn rubber and make it to the museum of miniatures to catch these shows. If you’re hip, purchase your tickets online to save $1 per ticket– or become a museum member to really take it all in. Visit theminitimemachine.org or call (520) 881-0606 for more information.
