About us

"For those seeking rare collectibles, the Schoenhut miniature Humpty Dumpty Circus is the Museum’s biggest don’t-miss exhibit."

"Every single piece is a joy to behold. Some have very interesting histories and some are incredibly rare. It takes a long time to drink in all the details, so give yourself plenty of time to enjoy this magical storehouse of treasures!"

"Slice of History, so amazed by the collection!"

"From Shirley Temple dolls to trains and die-cast race cars, the NC Museum of Dolls, Toys, and Miniatures has something for every age and gender."

"We loved our stop here.The only other comparable toy museum I have been to is the Shelburne Museum in Vermont but I think this place has more items on display."

“There is so much more to this museum than just looking at the dolls and toys. We learned so much… it really was an eye-opener to us about how many stories and history are connected to each piece. The staff was great.”

“I was awed by the collection of items in this museum - it’s not just dolls - and it’s for women and men of all ages and of course children. Preservation of the past - for the future.”
