One can find just about every kind of a doll one needs to see. There are about 6000 dolls collected from over 85 countries and a third of the collection has been gathered from different parts of India. Each doll is resplendent dressed in costumes representing the country or the region they come from. The museum is special because it allows a certain kind of a cultural exchange. And there isn't a more fascinating way to learn about different cultures than through these dolls. The brilliant costumes, the varied jewellery of the dolls narrate intriguing stories of different cultures, their climate, their folklore and their mythologies. There is a workshop and a Doll Designing Centre in the museum. Dolls are also sold here. So let the child in you run wild! Visit the museum.
