The Rosalie Whyel Museum of Doll Art was an art museum in Bellevue, Washington, USA. It featured a permanent collection of over 1,200 dolls. The museum was founded in 1992 and won a number of awards for its collection, including the Jumeau Trophy for best private doll museum in the world.[2]
In August 2011, the museum's owner and namesake announced that the museum would close on March 1, 2012.[1][3] Five years later, the building became the new location of KidsQuest Children's Museum.
