Sunlight filters through the window cutouts of the SMoMA - The Snail Museum of Miniature Art, illuminating the tiny artwork affixed to dollhouse walls and displayed on little columns. Located in Slow Down, a shop on Magazine Street in New Orleans, this tiny oddity is part diorama and part gift shop, all rendered on snail scale.
Step up and grab one of the provided magnifying glasses to observe the miniature paintings and sculptures on display in this tiny museum. The museum is complete with its own snail-sized seating areas for tiny patrons to appreciate the art should they visit.
It’s a great experience for humans too, of course! You can see the tiny details, sign the guest book, and even take some mini art home.
This mini museum’s exhibits appear to change regularly, so slide on in and give it a visit.
