Daily News | Grant will preserve the legacy of Black dolls and the Philadelphia Doll Museum
Beyond an emporium of prized toys and large figurines, the Philadelphia Doll Museum has been the center of Barbara Whiteman’s research and collection of storied antiques for over 30 years.
The funds, part of a $1.5 million initiative by Ruth Arts, were granted to Doll Museum Forward, a city-wide project led by Whiteman andthat’s focused on the cataloging and circulation of the collection across the region. “We’re in a position to start welcoming people to the collection and specifically talking to cultural organizations and Black businesses in the Philly area who would be interested in temporarily borrowing a doll from [Whiteman’s] collection to display … at their own site,” Blackson said.
