Innovation in Miniature Exhibition

Step into a world where big ideas come in small packages. Hagley’s miniature model exhibition brings together three fascinating fields — interior design, miniatures, and conservation — and invites you to explore how they connect in surprising ways. 

Innovation in Miniature highlights the careers of interior designer William Pahlmann and master miniaturist E.J. Kupjack. Together, they used these tiny models to bring bold ideas about interior decorating to life. You’ll also discover how Hagley’s conservators work behind the scenes to preserve these delicate treasures for years to come. 

Included with museum admission, free for Hagley Members.

Open through March 31, 2026

During a special tour on Thursday, March 19, at 10:30 a.m., discover how Hagley’s conservators work behind the scenes to preserve these delicate treasures for years to come. Learn more here.

This exhibition was made possible by a generous Foundation for Advancement in Conservation (FAIC)/Tru Vue® Conservation and Exhibition Grant and in-kind support of Optium Museum Acrylic for preservation of these works was provided by Tru Vue, Inc. and Grewe Plastics and Displays.
