Take A Tour of Tiny Meow Wolf
By Jena Braziel
Published in Issue 120, December 2023

Explore some of the many miniatures and dioramas to be found across our four permanent exhibitions.

Meow Wolf’s love of miniatures is nothing new. We’ve been obsessed with itty bitty objects for years. Who doesn’t let out an “awww” when their eyes are blessed with a scaled-down version of a hedgehog holding nearly microscopic marshmallows over a campfire to make the tiniest s’mores? We don’t want to know.

We’ve rounded up some diminutive dioramas and super-small scenes (feat. extraordinary details) across our four exhibitions. Enjoy, and see how many minis you can find on your next visit!

This feature was produced in partnership with Meow Wolf.

Jena Braziel is the Marketing Coordinator for Meow Wolf and Marketing Project Manager for The Real Unreal exhibit in Grapevine, TX. She grew up in Santa Fe, NM engulfing herself in the arts. She originally thought her passion was in acting, so she pursued her dream in New York going to the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. However, she realized she wanted to be herself and not pretend to be someone else and so she decided to get my BA in Media Art from the University of New Mexico.

She started as a Marketing Coordinator for Meow Wolf in 2021 and helped with the opening events for Convergence Station. Starting in 2022, I moved into the Marketing Project Manager.
