Public Events

  • Clubs and associations of miniaturists are available to discuss the hobby with collectors and non-initiates alike.
  • Historic re-enactors will be on-site to demonstrate their work.
  • A large area has been set aside for historic simulation games, inviting the audience to study military strategy and tactics.
  • Modellers and figure painters will be on hand to share professional secrets.

This year’s show will pay homage to American artist Bill Horan, one of the greatest miniaturists in the world. Bill Horan will be attending the show.

Considering the range of miniature topics covered at the show, it is not suprising that Mondial de la Figurine has changed its name to MONDIAL DE LA MINIATURE. Modellers and figure artists have much in common, they share the same philosophy, the same fascination for their creative work, and the desire to share their creations with the general public.
