About The Museum
The National Black Doll Museum
Since 2012, The National Black Doll Museum of History And Culture has existed as the nation’s second-ever and currently only brick-and-mortar museum dedicated to the art, craft, history, and preservation of Black dolls. We are a family-owned and operated 501c-3 non-profit.
Our Mission:
The Museum has a three-fold mission: to nurture self-esteem, promote cultural diversity, and preserve black dolls’ history by educating the public on their significance.
In pursuit of our mission, we feature Black dolls as both our subject matter and artistic medium. Exhibits inform our audiences and expand their horizons. Dollmaking workshops cultivate visitors’ self-knowledge and creative skills. Our open and welcoming philosophy encourages discussion by people of all backgrounds and provides space for performing artists.
Together, We Rise:
We are proud to be part of a community. We achieve our goals through collaborations with other museums, cultural centers, organizations, and individuals. Cultural education of African American history is exchanged via workshops, seminars, and presentations. We pride ourselves on being a place for all people.
