How to become a giant or the place where the miniature miracles become alive

Hi friends!

Parks or the Museum of miniatures is a wonderful art. Masters create a whole world in a reduced form, where you can feel like a Giant. I have the feeling that you get in the fairy land of lilliput.

We look at the reduced layouts of huge buildings where all the details are followed. Drawings, sculpture, and architecture - all the same. Who creates the wonders of miniatures, we will consider in this article. Take a trip to one of the miniature parks in Istanbul.

On the shore of the Golden Horn lies a wonderful Park Nearby (Pirates). Located in Beyoglu/Cihangir on the European side of Istanbul. Please note that the Museum map of Istanbul is not valid here. The cost of the ticket for tourists is 15 Turkish liras or $ 4. For residents and citizens of Turkey $ 2.

What is interesting in Park "Miniaturk"

The open Park with an area of more than 60 thousand squares is strewn with cultural heritage of Turkey in miniatures. To date, 127 of the presented models. It is impossible to cover the whole of Turkey in the journey at once. The Park Visit provides an opportunity. Some architectural structures, which were destroyed by time, are also exhibited in the Park. Famous historic buildings that are in other countries, but it's made by Turks or belong to Turkish culture can be seen in a Visit.

I am delighted with the work done by people! How much work it was necessary to invest to make such an educational Park. I got the impression that I visited every corner of Turkey in 4 hours. Most interesting, in ordinary buildings we can not evaluate the whole building. It's either in the trees or near some other buildings. On the top of the building you can see only photos that are made from a height. Here you see everything, every detail!

It turned out that there is a factory in Istanbul ["MiniatureART"](http://www.miniatureart.com)

More than 117 experts work in MiniatureART. These are architects, artists, sculptors, computer designers, designers, engineers, constructors and installers.

Be sure to check out the website of the company MiniatureART. You will find many interesting things. There are also models of red Square there. I really liked the company. Businessmen on the note, maybe someone wants to make their author's Park of miniatures. The company completely designs future object and introduces it in life, as they say, turnkey. Great, for example, you come home, and you have A red square in miniature, Notre-Dame de Paris or other beautifully hand-made models of cultural life.

Now the company MiniatureART performs a new order in Turkey. It is a Park of miniatures of world culture. The project is shown in the photo. The Park will be called "MiniaWorld Istanbul". The opening is planned in the near future. I think is is near the Park "Miniaturk".
