The Rotary Dolls Museum ( RDM ) is located
in the city of Rajkot,
State of Gujarat , India (South Central
Asia.). This unique Museum gives an overview
to the culture and traditions of the world
at large through a medium of dolls. The
Rotary Clubs across the world have generously
donated these Dolls to the Rotary
Club of Rajkot Midtown. This
vision was conceived in 2001 by the Rotarian
Mr. Deepak Agrawal. To view in detail the
path from conception to the birth on this
Rotary Dolls Museum, click

been to create a Dolls Museum where children
and adults both gain from, the mission has
been yet noble and simple, Love,
Care and Concern for Humanity.
In today’s
technological age, when we talk of the world
being a “Global Village”, we
effectively have brought the world under
one roof in this Museum with more than 1400
ethnic and traditional dolls from over 93
countries across the globe. The dolls are
showcased with window dressing replicating
the place from where it hails. This is a
gesture of Tender Loving Care for the Dolls
which should not feel out of place having
traveled so much to reach the City of
Rajkot.
This International
& Community service activity –
The Dolls Museum houses its doll collection,
and maintains permanent archives of historical
documents related to dolls for the study
and enjoyment of members and the viewing
public. The Museum supports various creative
activities for children and helps adults
with information on various countries, different
languages and business prospects abroad.
