Nun Doll Museum
"The Nun Doll Museum has the largest collection of dolls dressed in traditional attire of men and women religious communities in the United States." Sally Rogalski began collecting and dressing dolls in traditional attire in 1945. In 1964, she donated 230 dolls with the request that admission never be charged to view the dolls. The collection has grown to 525 dolls and 20 mannequins that represent the Diocesan clergy and more than 217 religious orders. They can be seen in glass display cases located in the lower part of the Long House Chapel.

Famous quotes containing the words nun, doll and/or museum:
“The sight of a Black nun strikes their sentimentality; and, as I am unalterably rooted in native ground, they consider me a work of primitive art, housed in a magical color; the incarnation of civilized, anti-heathenism, and the fruit of a triumphing idea.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
“Some men are all right in their place—if they only knew the right places.”
—Raoul Walsh, U.S. screenwriter. Frisco Doll (Mae West)
“Things will not mourn you, people will.”
—Hawaiian saying no. 191, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)
