Miniature Museum in Prague


Tucked away near the Strahov Monastery is the museum of miniatures by Anatoly Konenko, not cheap rate drawing on rice, but detailed paintings on pieces of mammoth bones of John Lennon and ex Prime Minister Vaclav Havel, delicate metal Eiffel tower in a small cherry seed, trains on a strand of hair and my favourite the camel train in the eye of a needle. The artist also did extreme miniatures of famous paintings like Matisse's "The dance". All required either a microscope or magnifying glass to see them.
