The Doll and Toy Museum of NYC in support with the Toy Industry Association and Jones Publishing is hosting a Dolls and Teddy Bears Show. The show will feature artist dolls and bears, one-of-kinds, limited editions, collectibles, antiques, and so much more. There will be workshops, appraisals, awards, a doll doctor examining broken dolls and a young dancers performance where “real dolls dance”, presented by Creative Arts Dance Studio of Brooklyn.
The show is presented by The Doll and Toy Museum of NYC to promote artistic achievement and to increase the public’s access and appreciation of hand-crafted artist dolls, teddy bears and other related crafts.
The Dolls and Teddy Bear Show will be open to the general public and held on Saturday, February 19, 2005, 10am-5pm, at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City.

This will be the third doll show the museum has presented in NYC and they are excited to be adding teddy bears to the new show. In addition, the museum “is thrilled to be working in collaboration with the Toy Industry Association and Jones Publishing enabling us to reach a larger audience and promote the show more internationally” said Barbara Vivian, a member of the museum staff.
The museum has several satellite exhibitions throughout the NYC region where the general public can view their collection and exhibits, including the Brooklyn Heights Public Library and a summer traveling exhibition called “DOLLS” which is now on display at The New York Public Library Donnell Center, 20 West 53rd St, in Manhattan. The museum is actively fundraising for a permanent site in NYC to house the museum.
