The rooms in this exhibit at the High Point Museum, were created by Meredith Slane Michener. They represent the bulk of her collection, which totals 35 rooms. Many of the items in the rooms were created by her, many were purchased from other artisans and many were “found.” This is one of the largest collections of miniature rooms in the country.

Of all the art treasures Helena Rubinstein collected, the miniature rooms, whose objects are made of ivory, silver, crystal, mahogany, pewter, and more, remained her favorites. As Helena Rubinstein recounted: "Connoisseurs have traveled from many lands to see these miniature rooms, but I enjoy showing them to children most of all." Helena Rubinstein founded the Helena Rubinstein Pavilion of Contemporary Art in Tel Aviv where her collection of miniature rooms is housed.
