Museum of Miniatures in Taiwan
This summer, I had the most wonderful opportunity to travel and visit my birthplace in Taiwan. Of course, I took countless pictures of the familiar surroundings I grew up in, but the Miniatures’ Museum had me totally mesmerized – it was definitely one of the highlights of my trip.
