A “Real” Dukkehjem and Film Connections

A very Ibsen-esque project. I wonder if we could do this in Norway:

Back in June 2007, Saskatchewan artist Heather Benning transformed an abandoned farmhouse in southwestern Manitoba into a giant dollhouse. She replaced the north-facing wall with Plexiglas, showcasing its interior and then fully restored the house with candy-colored walls and furniture from the 1960s, when the home was abandoned.

If you want to investigate some film connections, check out this post that explores current films that parallel or complement this style.
