According to Aniko Morocz, the Doll Museum, which was founded in 1994, is the result of the Filotas family’s private collection of four decades. First, they began it as a hobby, and then they collected the dolls with a growing passion. They themselves realized after many years what kind of culture historical treasures are hidden in the attic of old houses.

In 1993, they thought the collection is so rich that is should be exhibited. Then they decided to create the Tihany Doll Museum. The exhibition offers the visitors a unique experience, and it encourages the collectors to the further collection work.

You can find here the almost all German porcelain-doll-making workshops’ products from the 40s of the 19^th century – from the beginning of porcelain-doll manufacturing – until 1920, the ceasing of production, szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu wrote.

The real special feature of the museum is that dolls are not organized by a scientific sterile way, but in real-world environment showing the former fashion and lifestyle as well.
