The V&A Museum of Childhood
The Museum's dolls' house collection is the largest British collection not in private hands.
The oldest house, the Nuremberg House of 1673, is one of the Museum's greatest treasures.
There is also a small group of 18th century houses, including the magnificent Tate Baby House of about 1760, and a rich holding from the 19th century. Some were made by carpenters whilst others, such as the house given to the Museum in 1921 by Queen Mary, have royal connections.
