This year The Museum of Miniature Houses is celebrating being open to the public for twenty years and attracting over 4800 visitors per year to the Carmel Arts & Design District. They have come from all 50 states and over 13 foreign countries. The Museum is unique in that there are only five museums in the United States that are dedicated to show and teach the art of scale miniatures. With the new addition the Museum now offers full day workshops taught by noted artisans that attract out of town participants. We are planning on increasing the number of workshops in 2013. Our continued growth will be a benefit to Carmel. Because of the diversity of the Museum's collection, it appeals to all ages, both men and women, and of course, children. Art forms include silver, porcelain, weaving, glass blowing, sculpting, painting, fabrication, architecture and more. Obviously when visitors come to Carmel to visit the Museum they eat in Carmel restaurants, stay in Carmel hotels, and visit other Carmel attractions. The purpose of the Museum is many faceted. It educates in regard to art, scale, architecture, history and imagination. Virtually every applied art can be seen in miniature. It is a museum of fine arts in miniature. In addition the Museum provides an educational value and a wholesome family venue to the community. Teachers bring students, Scouts earn badges, and adults share a one-on-one experience with a child. The museum has also drawn local and national attention and numerous articles have appeared in local and national publications, all of which benefit the community. Sincerely, — 0freal "Thomas A.
