Colleen Moore’s Fairy Castle

Experience the enchantment of a Fairy’s dream home in Colleen Moore’s Fairy Castle. This elaborate miniature house was created by silent film star Colleen Moore in the 1930s, and was donated to the Museum of Science and Industry in 1949.
It will delight you with its tiny treasures—including murals and paintings painted by Walt Disney himself; chandeliers adorned with real diamonds, emeralds and pearls; the tiniest bible ever to be written, dating back to 1840; and ancient statues more than 2,000 years old.
If you are unable to visit Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry yourself, you can take a tour online though the spectacular rooms, or read the excellent ‘Within the Fairy Castle’.
