The museum exhibits 400 handmade dolls. Each doll is unique, the materials used for their production are different, and the attention to detail devoted to their production is exceptional – they are like small petrified people, with various emotions, smiles, shining eyes. Dolls from tiny babies to Indians, old people, elves and other fairy tale heroes. Sometimes it even became uncomfortable – as if we were not alone…
The whole museum is just a farmhouse with even several houses full of dolls, and in one of them you will find an impressive display of teddy bears.

There were no other visitors in the museum that day, the friendly Austrian owner let us walk around on our own, and later invited us to an educational lesson – the process of making porcelain dolls. They told us in detail how such dolls are born, how they thought of establishing such a museum, how they searched for specimens of the collection.
