Giant Doll Museum in Olinda

The Giant Doll Museum in Olinda has a huge collection of huge dolls of Brazilian deities and world celebrities. Such images are an integral part of the Olinda carnival, which can rival the carnival in Rio de Janeiro.

The annual carnival is accompanied by a procession of giant dolls – giant puppets, whose height can exceed three meters. A small house in the center of Olinda, called the “Doll House” by locals, contains a private collection of similar images. There is also the legendary Midnight Man opening a carnival in the city, and local beasts and pagan gods, which the Christians of Brazil brought to their culture from the traditions of African and indigenous tribes. Here you can see the dolls of Barack Obama, Michael Jackson and Johnny Depp, as well as buy a miniature statuette.
