The National Building Museum in Washington, visitors time travel in this tiny world through "Small Stories: At Home in a Dollhouse,"an exhibit that opened tors can see twelve dollhouses from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London,England,which contain amazing tiny furnishings（家具） those people who put together the exhibit also wanted visitors to know the characters inside.

So as visitors look inside the Tate Baby House,a fancy townhouse from 1760,they can push a button to hear a young woman get a lecture from her mother on the proper way to run a the Killer Cabinet House,a servant named Betsy complains about the problems of city life in the 1830s."We've got the cat to keep the rats away,"she says.         

That dollhouse was John Killer's gift to his wife and five girts were allowed to play with the house,but they probably also learned a few lessons,Sage said.   

"The kitchen of the house would have been the perfect way to teach the girls about the management of a home," she said,pointing to the tiny dishes and pots.

Those who prefer a more modern look won't be e are two rooms displaying a white dollhouse from 1935,an apartment house from the 1960s and a brightly colored 21st-century design.

The end of the exhibit shows how imaginative design sometimes works best in small spaces.
