Is this your business?Claim it freeA museum in Yokneam Illit of the miniatures made by the artist Moshe Samter, from rooms and furniture to houses, shops and whole small worlds, with miniature workshops
Great Mini World is the miniature museum of the artist Moshe (Herbert) Samter (1923 to 2020), on HaTsmiha Street in Yokneam Illit. Its galleries show his miniatures by theme: rooms, furniture, houses, prams, books, shops, music, art, parks and amusements, religions and partitions; its site says that given a pistachio shell he would make an opera singer, and given beads a whole perfumery. The museum team runs miniature workshops for individuals and groups, and school groups by arrangement, and the museum suits all ages, from parents and children to pensioners and groups of travellers. It is 3.5 km from the Yokneam Kfar Yehoshua railway station, and buses 117, 184 and 826 stop at the Yokneam Moshava junction, 450 metres away.
