People tend to either love or hate museums; there seems to be little in-between. If you typically stay away from museums, there’s one awesome spot in Tucson that just might change your mind. The Mini Time Machine features an incredible collection of miniature dollhouses and offers a unique experience that anyone (and everyone) can enjoy. Check it out:

Museums are snapshots of history; places where the past is completely frozen in time. This one in Tucson is no exception, but it’s especially unique because all of the exhibits have been shrunk down to nearly microscopic size.

Among the artwork is one of the nation's oldest miniature houses, which was built in 1775 - before the United States was even born. You'll also encounter items from several other countries, including the U.K., Germany, Holland, and Japan.
