Greensboro Historical Museum hosts 'Otto Zenke
Miniature Furniture Exhibit': Like the room
interiors designed for families from Greensboro and
across the country, Zenke's miniatures reflect a
love of late 18th century English interiors. Working
in a miniature scale, Zenke created elegant
interiors without the restrictions of budgetary
constraints of architectural impediments. Rather
than using the standard scale of one inch equal one
foot, Zenke preferred the unusual 1 1/2 inches to a
foot. Most of the furniture was handmade, primarily
of fine-grained woods, and varnished or painted to
look like period furniture. Zenke also made the
moldings, columns, mirrored screens and louvered
doors with brass hardware. Free admission and
parking. Tuesdays-Saturdays 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and
Sundays 2-5 p.m.
