Inside the Doll House

Before you will be able to view the Dolls, the owner’s brother, Mr. Arnold Mundala, will give you a briefing.   According to him, the dolls were a collection of his sister from different countries and each one of them has different unique stories and origins.  Most of the dolls also use the real hair and eyelashes of a real person.
