🖼 Petersburg Doll Museum

Камская ул., 8

A museum on Vasilievsky Island telling the history of the doll from ritual rag dolls to artists' dolls: Petersburg in dolls, folk festivals, theatre marionettes. On weekends — children's shows with a workshop.

The museum opened in 1998; the core of the collection came from private collections.
In the “Petersburg Perspective” exhibition, 19th-century Petersburg is populated by doll townspeople.
A separate hall is given to artists' and interior dolls — works by contemporary makers.
There is an exhibition about Russian holidays with dolls in folk costumes.
On weekends the museum puts on puppet shows, followed by workshops for children.
