Stockholm-based artist Tomas Mayer has been hard at work creating a wonderful miniature library. His “Handmade Miniature Library” is a marvelously detailed scene packed with hundreds of books, scrolls, and shelves.

Each bookshelf is filled with tiny volumes and scrolls. The combined grouping of shelves creates the illusion of a dusty, historic library in an ancient university or palace.

You follow Mayer’s progress on the project at Behance and Instagram for updates t which the artist plans to use as the backdrop for a movie.
