Queen Mary's Dollshouse

[coodencat]

Hi Darn and Dash I visited Windsor many years ago and was not aware there was a dolls house there, but that was before my DHA (dolls house Addiction).
It looks amazing is the little touches I think make a DH room real such as the cupboard door left open
I am going to Hever castle in Sept hopfully and there is one there so have been told so will make a bee line for that first, then will go around the castle is have time

I didn't know there is one at Hever Castle..... but I won't get there.

At Wimpole Hall in the ticket office there is a large modle of the hall...... I think that It has come from Maple Street which is very close by. The only problem is that it is where everyone queues for the tickets.

Have been to see it twice, once when I was little and too young to appreciate it and again about 6-7 years ago when I wasn't really into dollshouses but I did appreciate the detail and work. Although I must admit that when I first saw dollshouses in the shops I didn't realise the amount of time and effort that goes into them before you start putting the furniture in and adding the finishing touches but I must admit I am enjoying it far more than I thought.

I went to see Queen Mary's Dolls House some years ago, and although it was wonderful, had a job spending enough time in front of it, due to the amount of people also wanting to view!

The best Dolls House I have ever seen is in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, I first saw that when I was 16 and spent all afternoon in front of it...I saw it again a couple of years ago, but didn't spend quite so long viewing it that time!

Hi M-o-m

If I can, I certainly will. There is a book available on the Dollshouse. I got mine through Amazon. It's worth a look at too.
