Little Houses...


We visited the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and found this lovely little village...


...Rachel Whiteread has been collecting dollhouses for 20 years or so and they are displayed grouped in the dark with lights in the little windows...


...and climbing up hills..


...you feel like a voyeur peeking in the windows...


...but no one was in the houses...it was an enchanting exhibit..


...after taking these pictures a guard told me no photos!

"Village...simultaneously encourages and thwarts voyeurism, inviting viewers to peer into one empty room after another. Eventually it turns the tables: the illuminated windows become hundreds of Lilliputian eyes."
—The New York Times
