Watch it come together in this #timelapse and then stop by to marvel at the miniature works of silver, glass, Chinese porcelain, textiles and framed art!

View this post on Instagram Have you read @jesskatbee’s “The Miniaturist” yet? The novel was inspired by a Dutch dollhouse in the @rijksmuseum’s collection, one of only five to survive from the 17th century. This modern recreation contains miniature objects—silver, wooden furnishings, glass, Chinese porcelain, textiles and even framed works of art—from the 17th and 18th centuries. For a perfect holiday outing, see these tiny treasures in our "Art of the Netherlands in the 17th Century" gallery, then swing by the shop to pick up a copy of the book! #FridayReads A post shared by Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (@mfaboston) on Dec 8, 2017 at 9:02am PST
