Mexico City is a city with over 150 museums, and more are continually being added. While looking at Google Maps, I came across one that I had never heard of before... "La Casa de Mil Muñecas" (The House of 1000 Dolls). It claims to have the largest collection of dolls in the world. That claim might very well be true, since the old mansion in which it is housed has room after room filled with dolls and dollhouses.
The first several rooms are devoted to Mexican dolls.
An Aztec warrior
The Emperor Maximillian and his wife Carlota
Frida Kahlo...
and Diego Rivera
There was a large collection of elaborately furnished, antique dollhouses.
Dolls from around the world
Dolls representing famous people
There were dolls from the 20th century, including a collection of Barbie and Ken dolls.
