Aunty Joan’s Dolly Mix

Step into a wonderland of dolls that look like they might come to life.

Like walking backstage into an opulent dressing room, ‘a cornucopia of swagged satin and velvet’. (Dolly Mix Facebook page) This museum is the passion of the late Aunty Joan (Duncan) Stewart, who started collecting dolls later in life. It was Joan’s wish to donate the dolls to the Esperance community to make a permanent doll museum. If you need an escape, and want to feel like Alice in Wonderland, you can even organise a high tea in the space.

Address:

104 Dempster Street
Esperance WA 6450

Opening Hours

Mon to Sun 1 - 4pm. Entry by donation.

The eyes have it all, and this doll looks like you could peer right into them like an actual child. The doll is so life-like with its curls and in its colourful shirt with Australian plant designs.
