These 19th and early 20th century works of art are complemented by an extensive collection of more than 6,000 meticulously crafted miniature items such as dolls, furniture, paintings, animals, rugs, dishes and chandeliers, all generously donated by Elizabeth Johnston Prime in 2007.

The Elizabeth Johnston Prime Dollhouse Collection not only highlights architectural, clothing and furniture styles that span a century, from the 1830s to the 1930s, but also showcases the exquisite works of distinguished dollhouse designers, including Moritz Gottschalk and Christian Hacker.
