The collection comprises more than 2,500 antique dolls, dollhouses, rare miniatures and other toys. A historical timeline running from around 1860 traces the development of dolls and their accessories, including pieces by well-known makers such as Jumeau, Gaultier and Steiner. The miniatures show fashion and everyday life around 1900 through classrooms, houses and shops on a small scale.
