#10: Visit the Musée Miniature et Cinéma ✓
I don't know what it is about films that fascinates me so much, but j'adore le cinéma. Today I finally visited Lyon's cinema museum.
It was everything I hoped it would be and more.
The first few floors were dedicated to recreated sets. Not only were the rooms redesigned exactly has they had been for the movies, but there was creepy music playing in the background. To walk between rooms you had to go through poorly lit tunnels with stone walls. The whole experience was just like being transported to another world.
The next floors were filled with props from movies; everything from a Union soldier's costume from Spielberg's Lincoln to Harry Potter's wand. Yes, that's right, I was two feet away from Harry Potter's wand and original letter.
The final floors were devoted to miniature items - miniature sets, miniature dolls, miniature instruments, miniature shoes...
It was amazing how much detail went into each piece, but I have a hard time understanding why someone would spend their life building replicas of everyday items at a 1:12 ratio.
Also, why isn't anyone building this hat at a 1:1 ratio so that I can buy it and wear it?
