Inspired by an artistic practice that span centuries, A Journey in Miniature celebrates the enduring allure of small-scale art—from the illuminated manuscripts of the medieval world to the intimate portrait miniatures of the Romantic era, and into the vibrant diversity of contemporary practice.
Presented by the Australian Society of Miniature Art, this exhibition brings together an extraordinary range of works that demonstrate the precision, skill and imagination demanded by the form. Working within the discipline of scale—where every detail is heightened and nothing can be overlooked, artists explore subjects limited only by their imagination, across painting, drawing, printmaking and mixed media.
About the Australian Society of Miniature Art (AMSA)
