Wollaton Hall transformation includes miniature masterpieces

Wollaton Hall hit the headlines for having one of the world's biggest predators, Titus the T. Rex, on show. Now it's going to the other end of the scale with the tiniest sculpture of the dinosaur, so small that it sits within the eye of the needle.

It is the mind-bogging work sculptural artist Dr. Willard Wigan, who is famed for his incredibly intricate designs - the smallest ever made by a human hand. They form a new exhibition of 20 sculptures, Miniature Masterpieces, including four new pieces, as part of his Disappearing World collection that can be seen from April to October.

Willard has received an MBE from the Queen, achieved two Guinness World Records and has been been the subject of an award-winning Channel 4 documentary. But his road to success has not been easy. At school he found reading and writing a challenge as autism, dyslexia and other learning differences weren't recognised at the time.
