The artists, who post their work on an eponymous Instagram account, painstakingly create tiny storefronts for rodents on the real streets of Malmo, Sweden. According to [_My Modern Met_](http://mymodernmet.com/anonymouse-tiny-mice-shops-sweden/), each mouse shop measures approximately 25″ x 12″ and is completely realistic, down to minute details like the posters plastered on the shop exteriors or Mickey Mouse grafitti on the street. As for the shop wares, their offerings are exactly what mice customers might relish — nuts and cheese. See the best shops from AnonyMouse below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4602411/anonymouse-mice-shops/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4602411/anonymouse-mice-shops/"},"headline":"These Tiny Shops for Mice on Real Streets Will Blow Your Mind","datePublished":"2016-12-14T21:50:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:39:29.221Z","description":"The artist collective AnonyMouse is behind it","url":"https://time.com/4602411/anonymouse-mice-shops/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","Internet"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09e7a81ed63b5010/6988b301fb4eac6c8e890331/anonymouse-artists-mice-shops-sweden.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09e7a81ed63b5010/6988b301fb4eac6c8e890331/anonymouse-artists-mice-shops-sweden.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"anonymouse-artists-mice-shops-sweden","caption":"","creditText":"(Credit: Courtesy of AnonyMouse / Instagram)","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4602411/anonymouse-mice-shops/","name":"These Tiny Shops for Mice on Real Streets Will Blow Your Mind"}}]}] ```
