Whether the terrariums by Tony Larson, an artist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, are modelled after famous landmarks such as Stonehenge and Easter Island or depict more surreal scenes such as a world ruled by dinosaurs and Ewoks, it is hard not to be charmed by these lush dioramas. Although people are familiar with his 'Star Wars' terrariums, his collection is much more expansive than that.
The terrariums by Tony Larson are as much a product of his environment as they are his mind. According to Visual News, "Growing up in International Falls, MN, also known as the “icebox of the nation,” Larson turned to photography and crafting to keep warm and busy throughout the long winters." It helps that he's enamored with 'movie magic.'
