How are hobbit holes made? First an entire hill is removed and a concrete dome is constructed in its place. Then the hobbit quarters are assembled underneath the dome. Finally dirt and sod are piled on top, blending the dome seamlessly in with the surroundings hills.

Lovely dioramas at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Simple, well-crafted foregrounds and beautifully painted backdrops. Spacious and inviting. The rocking chairs were a nice touch, allowing visitors to pretend that they have a home on the range.
