Musée de la Poupée
Perhaps this museum was designed to appeal to our desire for nostalgia, but having hundreds of dolls on display can have an overall creepy effect also. The unblinking eyes and human-like form, while an interesting foray into our childhood, may also tap into our fears. While this museum might seem more for adults, it also has activities for children such as educational tours, storytelling, and workshops. The permanent exhibition takes the visitor through a chronology of dolls, starting from the “fashion dolls” of the 19th century, to the character dolls of the mid 20th century, ending with the modern plastic dolls of today.
