Located in the picturesque medieval village of Besalu, the Museum of Miniatures contains thousands of miniature scenes from 19th century shops to a camel caravan in the eye of a needle.
Opened in 2007 by artist Lluis Carraras, the collection is made up of contributions from artists around the world.
