The Smilestones, the Miniature World at the Rhine Falls, is a recently opened exhibition space in Neuhausen am Rheinfall that will bring you to the most famous locations in Switzerland, at a 1:87 scale.
The precision of the hands behind this work is impressive to say the least! As well as the number of figures, which is above the 15000 units.
A new area, under construction during my visit, will open at the end of 2019 to add the Jungfraujoch and other world-known mountain regions to the exhibition. Do not miss it!

Smilestones. Look at the detailed-oriented job of these artists, who were able to reproduce reality in all its facets.
