The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures

Our Mission: To preserve and advance the art of miniatures for all. 

Why We're One-of-a-Kind

With over 500 antique and contemporary dollhouses, roomboxes, and rotating special exhibitions, our museum sparks curiosity, creativity, and imagination for tens of thousands of visitors each year. We are proud to share these miniature wonders with our community— not only through the Museum itself,  but also through classes, workshops, group tours and youth camps and field trips.

Making Miniatures Accessible to Everyone

Visiting a museum isn’t always easy or affordable for many students, families, and individuals in Southern Arizona. That’s why our Museums for All programs and youth scholarships exist—to remove financial barriers and ensure everyone can experience the magic of miniature art.

IN 2025 ALONE:

• 3,281 individuals received discounted Museums for All admission tickets and memberships
• 354 students received Sizing Up My World (SUMW) scholarships

HOW YOUR GIFT MAKES AN IMPACT

• $75 → One family receives a Museums for All membership

• $185 → One student receives a full summer camp scholarship

Every donation helps us provide these opportunities—whether it’s a student’s first museum visit, a family exploring our exhibits, or a young artist discovering their love for miniatures.

Join us in supporting the greater Southern Arizona community. Your gift today ensures that every child, every family, and every visitor can experience the joy of miniatures.

Testimonials

"Keeping children busy during the summer and giving them these enriching experiences is expensive and out of reach for me as a single parent so I’m grateful that the museum has scholarships available for the kids."
— Megan, Parent/Guardian of Summer Camp participant
