Default dolls house museum

Hi ,

I am taking my little boy on a coach trip this month to the Museum of Childhood its in London E2. I had a look at the web page and guess what theres quite a few dolls houses from all eras so im looking forward to seeing them, if any one lives near there it looks a good day out with toys from victorian to 60,70s etc.

Hi Kim,

If it's the one at Bethnal Green, I went there with my kids on school trips. The kids will have a great time, and so will you.

About 6-7 years ago, when they were refurbishing the Bethnal Green Museum's Dolls house section, my then Doll's house Club went to the Bethnal Green Museum and helped to empty the houses that were on display, and clean and box up the contents, to be put in store (4 of us did one day and 3 of us did another day) then put new exhibits back in to the replacement dolls houses that were bought out of store. We actually have photos of us working there, but they are not digital photos, so would have to find them and scan them in.
