Tucked away in the Impasse Berthaud near the colorful Centre Pompidou is the diminutive Musée de la Poupée. More than five hundred stunning French dolls, dating from 1800 to the present, are cleverly displayed with their furniture, accessories, and toys. The museum draws from the private collection of Guido and Samy Odin, who personally guide our tour |
