They will learn as they grow older to love and care for their own children and not neglect them." The National Black Doll Museum of History & Culture has one of the largest collections -- if not the largest -- of dolls of color and related items in the United States. The physical museum, which was forced to close in 2020 due to COVID, was the first of its kind in New England, the second in the country, and possibly the largest in the world. As we look to reopen in a new location, we are online with more information than ever at www.nbdmhc.org. Whether as a building and/or virtually, we are dedicated to several objectives:
To preserve doll history and culture by presenting the art of dollmaking and collecting through workshops and lectures. To stimulate an interest in African American history by revealing the little-known, often-neglected facts of history with visual stimulation. To provide a resource library of information for doll research and the documentation of printed material, photographs, and audio recording
To support and work in conjunction with other nonprofit, charitable organizations in an exchange of exhibits and educational workshop. The Black Doll Museum is the brainchild of sisters Debra Britt and Felicia Walker. Daze Project and Museum Inc.", in 2006.
