At the Museum of Miniature Houses in Carmel, Indiana.

There are many, mini mansions, but there's one piece in particular that's so intricate, so detailed, and so perfectly furnished that you'd be hard pressed to tell it apart from a real home.

“The Sahlberg” and we spoke with the museum to learn more.

My name is Diego Fajardo, and I'm the Collections Manager and Curator at the Museum of Miniature Houses.

As it turns out, the piece was designed by Jimmy Landers and finished in collaboration with several renowned miniature artists, but it's only named after one of them.

This figure here is Carl Sahlberg, who the piece is named after.

He is the master of miniature electric work.

It was made from a 3D scan and prints of himself.

It looks just like him.

And despite how perfect he looks now, it took some creativity to incorporate the model into the scene.

When it first came to me, he was holding a book.

But this is not how exactly how you hold the book.

And so when we were sort of redecorating this room, I was trying to figure out what it is he could be doing that that has this kind of motion.

I'm like, okay, he's peeling apart one of the pages of the newspaper, the newspaper still entirely sideways, but but it gives some more of that action.

So why go through all this effort and name it after Carl?

Well, let's just say his light shines bright in the world of miniatures.

He will come and light my structures.

And I will watch him for hours and then sit down to think that I could recreate it myself, and I can't, but it makes the piece come to life.

As soon as you flip that switch and it comes on, the piece changes, the character changes.

He developed the LED strips that we use to light most of our pieces.

He's touched more pieces in the museum than anyone.

He used to live here in Indiana, but he lives down in Florida.

So whenever we get him back up here to assist on some of the pieces, he he teaches me things.

And so the reason that I know anything about any electric work at all, is because of Carl and his mentorship.

I know how to light a house, only if it's dollhouse scale *laughs* any electric work in my own house I'm like “oh no no” Want to see more pieces like “The Sahlberg”?
