The Queen's House Museum

In 1924, this dollhouse was built by the royal architect Sir Edwin Lutyens for Queen Mary, wife of King George V. The palace was made on a scale of 1:12 and measuring more than three feet. It can now be seen at Windsor Palace.

In this unusual doll house there are several floors and many rooms. It is unusual not only because it was created for the monarch, and not even for its amazing size. The fact is that in this house everything is real, only in miniature. Elevators here go up and down, electricity and running water, and even drain tanks in the toilets work quite properly. Furniture and various household items were ordered from well-known suppliers. And in the cellar in miniature bottles poured real wine. One of the most important is the library. More specifically, her collection of miniature books. The shelves feature volumes of Conan Doyle, Chesterton, Kipling, Maugham, Joseph Conrad, Vita Sackville-West. They all wrote a short story or poem specifically for the doll library.
