More MatchStick Marvels

My post about the mini-Eiffel Tower prompted me to find more examples of matchstick art. My search led to the discovery of Patrick Acton. I have included a couple of his works. He actually has his own museum. The charge for the museum visit is $3 for those over 13, $1 for ages 5-12, and any child under 5 gets in free. Many of his models are featured in Ripley's Believe It Or Not museums around the world. If you're interested in seeing more of his work and you don't feel like traveling to Gladbrook, IA, then you can get a DVD featuring his work.
