No, this is not a miniature. It's the Met, taken through some serious Tilt-Shift Photography Faking to make it look much, much smaller than it actually is.
If you're looking at shrinking the world around you without angering the Justice League of America or buying special lenses, pop over the Creative Pro site for this article on achieving the effect through Alien Skin Software's Photoshop plug-in, Bokeh.
If you'd just like to see more examples (and roll over to see a before and after of the pictures), pop over here.
After you do, maybe you can forgive me for a really, really dated reference.
