“I visited the museum last Saturday 18/1/25 and it was such an interesting visit, a very eclectic collection of dolls from around the world also some toys and dolls houses. This collection has so many stories and is being looked after by a volunteer team who clearly put so much into what they do here and were very pleasant and helpful. Thank you to Nousha for creating this space and to Samari for giving me a tour around :) A nostalgic hidden gem of a museum.”
