Thomas Doyle constructs objects that would make awesome snowglobes. My votes are on Escalation and Sleep on your stomach, fold your arms. Have a look at all of them and report back.

Exciting times are upon us. Starting right this very moment for every snowglobe that has been measured, and quite a number of them have been measured, you'll see an image depicting how large the snowglobe would be if you were holding it in your hand and your hand were about the size of this disembodied mitt.

Snow is another word for no parking.

We recognize that it is difficult for some of you to get to the museum to shake the snowglobes so we're shaking them for you. Click through our selection on the staff favorites page as well as a few additional choice globes to see them in action.

The museum has received some attention on a variety of information outlets. Have a look:
