Greetings All,
        I am in search of information regarding the design,
implementation, and theoretical aspects of dioramas and mini-dioramas. So
far, all I've found is Christopher Steiner's review of the "Worlds in
Miniature..."exhibit review in Museum Anthropology, vol. 15, no.2. 1991.
        Any others out there? Specifically, I want to get at the ways in which
dioramas interpret anthropological issues (i.e. are they functioning
merely as contexts for artifacts; and what about mini-dioramas where
EVERYTHING, including the artifacts, is "artificial").
         Your help is appreciated.
                                sincerely,
