I stumbled across this place from the window. It was truly fascinating. It holds a collection of dolls dating back to the late 19th century in an apartment, collected by a family of five generations of doll "doctors." The first part of the tour includes the room where dolls 'wait' for surgery and treatment, and then two beautiful 'inpatient rooms', that are not just displays – the family still repairs dolls from all over the world. In the adjacent rooms are huge collections of dolls. My favorite parts were the small touches – a turntable displaying the record of a famous Portuguese troubadour, an ascending belt of Barbies through the generations (including a Brigitte Bardot), a collection of caroling dolls, and a troupe of baby nuns. Truly beautiful, and they rearrange the collections all the time. Whoever is curating this place has a strange and brilliant mind. I am no doll collector btw, nor have any special interest, but love tiny things. The guide was friendly, well informed, and very sweet. Highly recommend a visit. Well worth the 2.5 (1 for covid measures). Sofia (from USA via Berlin)

Well worth a visit!
What a surprise that I found a small place but very interesting history behind and what they’re doing. Dolls hospital! Now and then who can think about that. A beautiful place family running for years fixing dolls from every where, including from another country. With a tour we can understand more how important about dolls to people, memories, personal....and we can see step by step how the hospital work . I can tell people who work here are all artists, they very friendly helpful and artist. The hospital very clean, comfortable and organized. I glad I found this place. Will tell my friends coming here whenever they visit Lisbon/ Portugal
My favourite place in Lisbon! The tiny shop is full of interesting pieces and the museum / collection upstairs is definitely worth the visit, for a fair ticket of 2 Euro. The guide was very nice too! They have an incredible collection of dolls plus the ones to be repaired. Expect drawers and drawers of heads, legs and arms. Super beautiful!
Little doll shop with so many kind of dolls and doll house, doll furniture. Everything is made with precise details
One of my best experiences in Lisbon and among the best museums that I have been. Truly a hidden gem in the heart of the Lisbon. I highly recommend visiting this museum even of you are in Lisbon for a few days. The visit takes around 20 minutes and the tour guide will present you with a detail account of the aim of this hospital and their collection in the museum. The dolls in the museum date back to 19th century which is amazing. It is really a hospital! believe me! They have trained doctors working in two surgery rooms! They also accept the sick dolls from all over the world and send them back after treatment! AMAZING
Thank you, my daughter had the best time
Nice cute museum if you’re around the area. It’s a 15 min maximum program. Nice history and a lot of toys from old times to see. It’s a guided tour that costs 2 per person. If you like dolls or just antique things worth a visit. Very nice staff!
