DOLLS MUSEUM

Shankar's International Dolls Museum is a unique museum, located in the Children's Book Trust building, on the Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg of New Delhi. There are about 6,000 dolls in Shankar's International Dolls Museum, collected from over 85 countries. This, in itself, is an overwhelming fact that can lure anybody to this special museum. A third of this collection comes from different parts of India only. The museum was set up by K. Shankar Pillai, a political cartoonist. The dolls in the museum are dressed in beautiful, bright-colored and dazzling costumes, representing the country or the region to which they belong.
