International Dolls Museum

← Chandigarh

AreaSector 23

A one-room world tour assembled out of holiday luggage. The collection began in 1985, when Rotary Club members brought dolls home from trips abroad and the city administration gave them a home inside the Bal Bhawan children's complex. Glass cases hold heritage dolls from more than 25 countries, Indian tribal figures and brides in the wedding dress of every state, with a toy-train set running alongside. Entry is a token fee of Rs 20 (free for under-18s) and Mondays are closed; best in the company of children.
