Learn to be god or Am I jealous of a doll because of her house?

The initial intention of the miniature houses was to show off wealth, later to teach children how things should be done, and then it’s most natural scenario: to be played with. Through this video, we look at the Stromer Dollhouse, the Salem Silversmith Dollhouse, Queen Mary’s Dollhouse,
the Stettheimer Dollhouse, and many more.

Thank you to the Wenham Museum and Dad Nuke for his ‘Play’ design
