-------------- Exhibition of the best dolls of the Odin collection
---- Room 1 : lady dolls, 1800-1939
Dolls have long been used by adults in the upbringing of children. The model given by lady dolls was the one of the adults. The role of the doll was to show esthetical canons, to reflect fashion and transmit good behaviour precepts. These refined fashion dolls still remain the best today.
