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. 

She says:


“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.”
