It was originally a gift between the royal families. It was strictly scaled down and made popular in Europe and North America after it entered the folk. Walking into the pocket museum is like stepping into a time tunnel, with Tudor-style buildings, Victorian mansions, street scenes of medieval Europe, Baroque period buildings... The exhibits look small and exquisite, beautiful, and the images are even more realistic. The treasure of the town hall "Rose Mansion" is a large-scale doll house work.
