Welcome to my mini snowglobe collection page.  I collect "mini" snowglobes from places I (or my friends) have visited.  They are are approximately 7 cm in height, the "globe" is made of glass (note, it's a globe, not a dome).  I usually prefer landmarks,  but as you can see below, there are exceptions.  Also I usually limit myself to one per place (even if I have visited the place multiple times).  As you can see below, there are exceptions for that too :)
