Lifesize Dollhouse

Wouldn't you like to play in this dollhouse?

Saskatchewan artist Heather Benning converted this abandoned farmhouse in Manitoba into a full-sized, livable dollhouse in 2007.

The north facing wall of the house was replaced with Plexiglas for dollhouse viewing. The wall colors and furnishings are in 1960's fashion, the time when the home was abandoned.


The artist's own words on her creation, "I wanted to show the passage of time … I was able to show what it looked like before it was left, but then what it looks like now, you know, 35 years later."
