Have you ever seen golden camels in the eye of a needle? Or a book bound with spiderweb? Or art pieces placed on a human hair? For that, the artist had to slow down the pace of his heartbeat as he worked on his art pieces between to heartbeats. I could go on describing what you can see in the Micro Art Museum, but it is best to come and check it out for yourself. The smallest and most elaborate art pieces in the world can be seen under microscopes. You can also see something without a microscope, but you wouldn't always be able to tell us what there is on the other side of the lens. Mykola Syadristy's art shows us that nothing is impossible, we just have to improve our skills and be persistent and patient.
