The International Dolls Museum is a large collection of dolls in Delhi , India . It was set up by K. Shankar Pillai , a political cartoonist. Housed in the Children's Book Trust building on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg , accessed through a separate entrance, a winding staircase, leading up to a foyer. The Museum's collection of costume dolls was inspired by a gift of a single doll, which Shankar received from the Hungarian Ambassador in the early fifties, to be given away as a prize in the Shankar's International Children's Competition. Shankar fell in love with the doll.
