SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL - THE MINIATURE ART MUSEUM SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL - THE MINIATURE ART MUSEUMMiniature art helps us to capture and understand the world by reducing its scales. The artists on display in this exhibition illustrate this in a poetic way. Their tiny artworks make us laugh, feel awe-inspired and ponder the nuances of our own regular-sized world. Ready to experience this beautiful reduction of scale and escape reality for an hour?
Born from social networks as an independent art movement that connects international artists from all over the world, the #MiniatureArt phenomenon is now appearing in real-life art installations. Immerse yourself in a tiny, well-detailed and curious universe, open to the public for the first time in Italy!
The 19 artists on display offer unique perspectives through the medium of miniatures, often using a playful approach to denounce and question a too serious world. The art conveys a message: often mixing politics, humor and poetry. Small is Beautiful is a surprising and unexpected adventure full of wonder and emotion providing a new perspective on today’s society - don’t miss out!

Having lived in the Parisian suburbs and become familiar with them, the artist Simon Laveuve developed a passion early in life for visible modes of expression, with their ability to reflect intrepid explorations of an environment that may so easily become hostile.
The artist imagines 'post-apocalyptic refuges,' unique lifelines and sanctuaries of survival in a world of noise and chaos. He takes a special interest in the architecture of cities, their spatial power, and the individuals who inhabit them, go into hiding in them, or commit themselves to them.
In a boundless poetry of lines, words and silences, Simon Laveuve expresses the erring ways of our time. Sharpening his gaze, he seeks out the unusual and incongruous, drawing his inspiration there.
UNITED KINGDOM - Slinkachu stages his miniature characters in urban settings around the world, photographs them and then "dumps" them there (Street Art in Miniature). His installations are a humorous reflection on the loneliness and melancholy of life in big cities; the isolation of individuals in their urban environments.
