Thanks to an extremely generous donation from a local resident, Valentines Mansion will be hosting an exhibition of dolls from around the world. The fascinating collection of well over 2000 dolls, dressed in regional and national costumes and collected over a lifetime feature many pieces celebrating authentic folk craftsmanship and folk-history.
This unique display will be rotated every couple of months, each time specialising on a certain area of the world. The first of these displays will illustrate the dolls, dresses, customs, local history and styles of the Eastern European countries.
