From the graceful curve of the bridge to the spot-on color choices and complex tiling in the walls, this microscale reproduction is very true to the original. But, like in the film, there’s more here than you might first see. Keep reading to discover some of the secrets!

Marcin has customized this creation with LED lighting, filling the halls with a festive glow.

The torches along the bridge lead you to the entry way, where even more wonders await.

Yes, amazingly, there’s even a fully built-out interior to this model! Check out the boiler room, baths, and balcony seen here. You really feel like you could step inside, if you were just small enough. It’s amazing work that deserves to be celebrated.
