    Thanks for sharing. Years ago, (late 50's, early 60's) I was thrilled to see a dollhouse at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. It had electricity and running water. Doll houses are so much fun to see!

    If they had said it was a dollhouse I would have thought it was a real house. Thank you for sharing.

    yes, the pictures appear to be real rooms/house. I wish they had a picture of the back of the entire dollhouse so you could get the perspective. I've always loved dollhouses. The Boston Children's museum had a whole room and more of dollhouses that kept me mesmerized for my whole visit there when I was young. Many years later I asked someone if they still had the dollhouses(the museum had moved) and was told yes, they did. I should go seem them again.

    I have seen this before and although stunning and beautiful, I just could not help to think of all the money involved.

    I had the same problem, but if you look on the top left of the castle picture there are three squares aligned vertically for thumbnails of all the pictures. Click on each to enlarge. I couldn't get a slideshow however. Maybe someone else had luck with that.

    It reminds me of the one in the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.

    It's beautiful but there are many other things I would do with 8.5 million dollars.
