Belton Museum Exhibit to Celebrate Miniatures

Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

It’s a small world, and the Belton Area Museum Association will celebrate all the little things in their newest exhibit, which opens Sunday at 3 p.m.

“Littles: Miniature Collections” will feature such small treasures as thimbles, spoons, shot glasses, blown glass animals, doll house furniture, trinkets, curio items, snuff boxes, and other tiny objects.

In addition to viewing the exhibit, attendees at the grand opening can enjoy a craft making station creating tiny everyday objects from clay, a dessert station featuring tiny treats, and a scavenger hunt looking for the smallest of items in the exhibit.

Additional exhibit activities will include a holiday cooking class featuring miniature canapes, petit fours, and other tiny treats led by Chef Chris Moree. Details will be released closer to these events.

Admission is free and the exhibit will run through December 14. Museum hours are Wednesday=Friday 9 a.m.- 2 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m.- noon. Call the 369-338-7400 to arrange group tours.
