Welcome!


We’re the Miniature Society of Cincinnati (MSC), and we’re celebrating being 50 years young this year! For a bit of our history, go to our About Us page. 

We’re a diverse and dynamic group who are passionate about miniatures. Some of us are artisans, others are collectors–most of us are quite a bit of both!

Our creations are as varied as we are. You’ll find everything from historically-accurate room boxes to whimsical fairy wonderlands, from tiny scenes in watch cases, teacups, and matchboxes to full-size dollhouses. Feel free to browse our Galleries to see some of our work.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, there’s a place for you here. Club membership is open to adults 16 years of age and older. No experience necessary. Guests are welcome (and encouraged!) to sit in for a meeting.

What are miniatures?

“Miniatures” refers to creations that are 1:12 scale (or smaller), also called “dollhouse scale.” The 1:12 scale means 1 inch scale size = 1 foot in actual size. For example, a 3-inch-tall miniature chair represents a 3-foot-tall chair.

We also work in smaller scales, including half-inch (1:24) and quarter-inch (1:48). To learn more about miniature scales, click HERE.
