The Museum of Miniature Found Objects salutes this splendid work by the Brazilian artist Néle Azevedo. In 'Minimum Monument' these ice men briefly existed on the steps of the Custom House in October this year as a part of the Belfast Festival.

The Museum of Miniature Found Objects will now be closed until 13 January 2013, and wishes all its visitors a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Young visitors to the Museum of Miniature Found Objects on Saturday were delighted to witness the arrival of Father Christmas. A popular tradition at the museum, a large crowd of young folk had gathered in readiness for the tinkle of sleigh bells that heralds Father Christmas's arrival each year. And they were not disappointed. Through the frosty night air, and serenaded with a charming medley of traditional Christmas carols, Father Christmas arrived, dispensing festive cheer to one and all, and took up residence once again in his Christmas Grotto. 

Whilst visiting the museum, parents are encouraged to take their children to visit the magical Grotto, where they can take photos of their little ones with Father Christmas, as they share their Christmas wishes. A treasured memory for all the family.

Fashionistas and celebrities alike flocked to the Etruscan Lounge at the Museum of Miniature Found Objects yesterday. In an evening of glamour and high fashion, the cream of London and Los Angeles celebrated the opening of the exhibition 'Found Footwear'. Fashion icons Karl Lagerfeld and the Duchess of Cornwall dropped by for a surprise visit, and Ludmilla Pomodoro, the show's curator, was delighted to give them a personal tour. Karl Lagerfeld described the show as 'inspirational', and a little bird has it that the entrance foyer's forthcoming makeover may indeed have his stamp all over it.
