National Black Doll Museum of History and Culture

Established in 2004 The National Black Doll Museum of History & Culture is the only museum in the country that uses dolls to tell the stories and honor the legacies of the African American experience. The National Black Doll Museum has a three-fold mission: to nurture self-esteem, to promote cultural diversity, and to preserve the history of black dolls by educating the public on their significance. In pursuit of our mission, we use Black dolls as both our subject and our artistic medium. We empower our visitors by cultivating their self-knowledge and encouraging their creative skills. We provide a welcoming place where people of all backgrounds can have honest discussions on important topics involving race and cultural differences. And 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. The National Black Doll Museum is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization presented by the Doll E Daze Project.
