Hospital de Bonecas

MuseumLocal favourite

Since 1830, when Dona Carlota sat at the door mending rag dolls, Lisbon families have brought broken dolls here as 'patients' with a file and a bed number; upstairs a small museum holds more than 3,500 dolls, while the shopfront on Praça da Figueira looks like any toy shop.
