Shankar's International Dolls Museum

This guide to Shankar's International Dolls Museum in Delhi traces how one gift from a Hungarian ambassador to political cartoonist K. Shankar Pillai turned into a lifelong habit of collecting from embassies, markets and dignitaries wherever his work took him. You'll hear how the fragile crated collection outgrew its traveling exhibitions, and how a conversation with Indira Gandhi at a Delhi show set the museum's founding in motion. It traces the building's naming after Jawaharlal Nehru and the ribbon-cutting by President Radhakrishnan that opened it to the public.
