Muzeum Domków dla Lalek Warsaw

Back to your childhood

""Muzeum Domków dla Lalek" is one of two dollhouse museums in Europe. The Warsaw one opened recently and has over 100 exhibits! I just love the entrance..."

Muzeum Domków Lalek, Gier i Zabawek is one of two dollhouse museums in Europe. The Warsaw one was opened in June 2016 thanks to its 'mother' - Aneta Popiel-Machnicka. 100 dollhouses, which we can see in the museum, were found and renovated by this one enthusiast.

Her adventure started when she was pregnant, and she was trying to buy a dollhouse for her daughter to be. She didn't find anything interesting in the actual shop offer, so she found a second-hand dollhouse that was really old and broken, which she decided to renovate by herself. Each of her dollhouses is full of love and passion, with amazing little details and stories behind them. Stories about their own origins and lifestyles in different eras.

My favourite one is a writer's house. I spent about 15 minutes looking at it and finding new great details. I also loved the museum's price list and the descriptions of their discount tickets. It says that they apply to kindergarten, primary and secondary school children, students and "any person who sometimes feels like a child. Declaration to be made at the cash desk in all seriousness".

The other thing I love is the entrance to the museum, which is a secret but you'll surely find it if you listen to the child inside of you...
