Highland Park art lovers are in for a rare and exciting treat. The renowned Kupjack Miniature Rooms, featured in prestigious museums around the world—including the Chicago Art Institute, Philadelphia Art Museum, and Naples Museum—are making a special appearance at The Art Center Highland Park (TAC) for a limited time.

Through a collaboration with Chicago’s Gallery VICTOR, TAC will present works by 24 internationally acclaimed artists, on display from Friday, May 2, through Saturday, June 14. Among them are three remarkable miniature rooms, meticulously crafted by the Kupjack family, whose legacy in the art of miniatures began with Eugene Kupjack, collaborator of Narcissa Niblack Thorne in creating the famous Thorne Miniature Rooms at The Art Institute of Chicago.
