However it has changed a lot as compared when I went there when I was a kid. I had nostalgic memories with the place so I took my kids also to the place.

A very different but mind-blowing experience, how dolls are a very important part of one's culture and it shows the people of the place and their change in dress and fashion. Dolls even mark the class shift as well.
Well lit, well maintained, neat place. Awesome collection of dolls.thrilling experience for little girls. No wonder a favourite destination for school outings!

Kids can learn and see so many varieties of dolls not even from all of india but from all over the world. It is a very good initiative to encourage the making of dolls.
The one among the top doll museums in the world. It's situated in the heart of Delhi and the land mark is ITO metro station. The founder of the museum is the well known cartoonist Mr. Shankar. The museum consists dolls of various sizes from the different parts of the world. It has separate space for the dolls of each state and each doll reflects the tradition of each part of India.
Nice international collection for dolls. Kids were very happy after seeing all these. However should avoid as well because kid can be anger to buy all these dolls.
Good place for kids, specially girls. You can find dolls of every country here. Most of them are rare and antique which you can't buy anywhere now. So its quite interesting to see history in the form of decorated dolls. Children will enjoy here a lot. But not a place for full day. There are restaurants outside and street food also if anyone want lunch.
The place is genuine but has not been maintained and certainly not clean. Since lots of kids come to this place, keeping it clear should be the top priority.

The museum has a floor area of 5,184.5 sq ft (481.66 m2) and occupies a portion of the first floor. K. Shankar Pillai (1902–1989), noted cartoonist, set up Children's Book Trust, a pioneering work in the field of children’s literature in India, in 1957. Later, a gift of a doll from a Hungarian diplomat gave Shankar the idea of collecting dolls from countries he visited. He often held exhibitions for poor children, and at one exhibition in Delhi, among the hundreds of visitors were the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru accompanied by his daughter Indira Gandhi. Indira was inspired and together with Shankar set up an international museum for dolls, eventually materializing on November 30,1965.
The principal collection consists of gifts from Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, and many subsequent Prime Ministers, including Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. Also several embassies and diplomatic missions in Delhi gifted dolls to the museum. Visiting dignitaries like Madame Tito, Queen Frederika of Greece, the Queen of Thailand, the sister of Shah of Iran, the wives of Presidents of Mexico and Indonesia and many others gifted dolls representing their respective nations

First of all if you're using metro, get down at ITO and leave through gate no. 4. It gets you right in front of the museum. Ticket cost is rs 25 for adults. There are more than 6,500 dolls from 85 countries.
For normal tourists - it's a great place for your kids and they can learn about many Indian states and other countries if the adults help them. It will take around 30-40 minutes.
For art, culture, history enthusiasts and critical minds (also UPSC aspirants) - it will be helpful if one has a pen and a notebook. There's a lot to learn about different counties and their cultures and history from the dolls. One will be able to learn a lot about different cultures present in India. For these people the museum will take minimum 2 hours.

It's the only place on Earth to have such a collection of International Dolls. Major countries are covered. Dolls from Japan are simply superb. A must visit place for any Traveller to Delhi.
Shankar Doll museum is very fascinating and awesome place for kids and adults too. It is located at ITO with very reasonable entry fee. It hosts more than 7000 Dolls from 85 countries. Each Doll and it's attire represents the country and it's respective culture.
You can typically spend around 1-1.5 hours enjoying the place. However photography is strictly phohibited inside the museum which is little disheartening.
You can find parking space on Sundays easily. This place also have restroom and drinking water.
