About the Museum

Escape Reality Museum A Miniature Experience is North Carolina’s first immersive museum dedicated entirely to the art and magic of miniatures. Our mission is simple: to spark imagination, creativity, and wonder by inviting people of all ages into breathtaking handcrafted worlds.

Founded by master miniaturist Prince Troncoso who has over two decades in miniature model making and design. Each display is created with extraordinary detail and care, offering guests a chance to step into a different realm through his imagination. Every display invites you to lean in, look closer, and discover a hidden story waiting to be told.

But our museum is more than just an attraction.

It’s a creative community space that offers:

• Free Admissions

• Free Educational Programs

• Hands-on classes for kids and adults

• Skill-building workshops

• A family-friendly welcoming space

• Opportunities to explore art, imagination, and creativity.

We believe miniature art can change lives. It inspires curiosity, strengthens problem-solving skills, and increases self-confidence amongst other things. Through the art of storytelling, it gives people a place to explore something new. Our exhibits are crafted to ignite that sense of wonder — the same feeling that first inspired Prince when he first started.

As we prepare to open our doors in Fall 2026 in the Boone / Blowing Rock area, we invite you to join us on this journey. Whether you’re a visitor, student, donor, or miniature enthusiast, you are part of building something truly special.

If you can imagine it - it can be done!
