And you thought doctors had to have steady hands.
In a 16th century building in the culturally historic center of Lyon, France sits the "Musée Miniature et Cinéma," a 5-story museum displaying over 100 miniature film sets.
From weather-stained glass and mildew-ridden walls...
To age-torn curtains and the dust that only an abandoned buildings could possess...
Each miniature must achieve the highest form of Hyperrealism to deceive viewers into thinking they're real.
Each prop must be perfectly placed, each component, perfectly arranged. Even the lighting is carefully orchestrated.
“The subtle lighting arrangement, the painstaking replication of old textures, the use of the same original materials, all contribute to the creation of a moving poetry that resonates with each new miniature panorama,†explains the museum’s website.
The miniature sets showcased at Musée Miniature et Cinéma are made by some of the most renowned miniaturists in the world.
The handcrafted models possess the same features found in the film’s actual scene, right down to the most minute details.
And they would be the first to tell you, it's not as easy as they make it look. The perfection of their work is a testament to the tireless work they've put into mastering at one of the world's most challenging crafts.
