Hats off to Susana Lopez del Toro for creating this assemblage of awesomeness through her love of collecting micro curiosities and building the coolest miniature library on the planet.
“What I like to do the most, apart from libraries and bookstores, are cabinets of curiosities. Rooms of wonders full of unheard-of treasures, singularities of nature, exotic objects... This one, which I made for my "Library of Lilliput", took me years to complete, because it is not only a scale recreation of a real or imaginary space but also a true exhibitor of tiny real curiosities. It has minerals, fossils, gems, meteorites, shark teeth, a stuffed mini piranha, stars, and a micro seahorse; the tiniest crabs, a skull carved from fossilized mammoth ivory, a monkey sculpted from an olive bone and so on up to 100 micro rarities that I have been looking for everywhere.”
