Welcome to Goop Tales, Episode 72, Brager and the Thorn Miniatures. I'm Maria Kalincini, and I'm the author

0:15.3

of Goop Tales. And today, I am very excited because we are going to go on a trip to the Thorn Miniatures at the Art Institute of Chicago.

0:27.3

Now, this is a place that I have been, and I loved it.

0:31.7

It's like a fantasy land.

0:33.4
