The Museum of Miniatures on Wheels has a complex name - "The world's largest collection of the world's smallest versions of the world's largest things." Such an intricate design was invented by Erica Nelson - the author and leader, and just the driver of the museum van. Miniatures are created in several stages. At first, the traveler notices some strange sight on the way - for example, the world's largest skein of rope. Having photographed an interesting object, Erica Nelson makes a small copy of it at her leisure for the Museum of Miniatures. And when he again drives past a familiar landmark, he often takes pictures together both a large original and a miniature sculpture made with his own hands.
In the miniature world of Erika Nelson, there is a place for the largest strawberries and the largest bottle of ketchup, a huge frying pan and fish from which lutefisk is prepared. The curator of the museum considers herself to be the world's greatest experts in the field of gigantic things installed along the side of the roads. She lectures in colleges and advises people who, in the heat of gigantomania, want to immortalize something, but are afraid to repeat it.

Previously, it was believed that people were to blame. Now scientists are sure: it was climate change that led Australia's megafauna to extinction. The land that we now call Australia, 40-60 thousand years ago, was inhabited by giant creatures sa
Koala Raymond: a living find by the side of the road
The Society for the Protection of Animals is sounding the alarm. Man assimilates more and more lands, depriving animals of their homes.
