Bellevue, Washington: Rosalie Whyel Museum of Doll Art
The relationship beween a child and a doll is one that can only be understood by experiencing it, but once experienced, it is never forgotten.
If you want to once again experience the childhood joy of dolls, the Rosalie Whyel Museum of Doll Art in Bellevue, Washington, is the place to do it.
The Museum opened in 1992, and you can tell that it’s been a labor of love. The elegant Victorian setting features a collection that has grown to over 3,000 dolls, some of which are available for purchase. You’ll also find other childhood memorabilia, along with the dolls, including a collection of teddy bears, toys, and dollhouses.
After a visit to the Museum, I went home and found the storage boxes where my dolls were stored. I pulled them off the shelf, opened the boxes, and lovingly looked at them. It was a wonderful side-trip down memory lane.
The Rosalie Whyel Museum of Doll art is located at 1116 106th Avenue NE, in Bellevue. Hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 am-5 pm, Sunday 11 am-4 pm. Admission is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, $5 for children, and kids under 5 are free.
Allow an hour for viewing, more if you are a collector or doll afficianado.
