Author Topic:   Castle with Life Displayed with Dolls? lcook Member posted 05-31-99 07:04 PM             About 6 years ago in a Doll Collector magazine I saw pictures of a castle in which there was displayed Dolls that a "Lady" inhabitant of the castle had made that portrayed her life.One image that stands out is where she is carried in a cart amongst the peasants. Can anyone Help me identify the castle or Lady? Trail Senior Member posted 06-01-99 06:12 AM          Is it a castle dollhouse you're speaking of? There's a very famous, huge (scale: 1 in=1 ft) castle doll house at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, very richly detailed (real gold chalice in the doll-castle's chapel, for example), created by silent film star Colleen Moore. To view the castle and tour it, go to www.msichicago.org/exhibit/fairy_castle/fchome.html [This message has been edited by Trail (edited 06-01-99).] lcook Member posted 06-01-99 06:16 PM             Thanks for the quick reply,unfortunately Colleen Moores castle isn't the one I'm looking for.The castle was located in Europe,I think either Germany/Poland/France.I seem to recall the name "Arndt" or a version of it was in her name or the town were she lived.I also seem to recall from the article,that she was quite a bit younger than her husband and set about creating this "Doll Village" along the walls of her castle for two reasons:1)she had a fascination of the peasants and there everyday lives and 2) it amused her.
