100-year-old hospital for dolls, where photographers love to be

This hospital for dolls, plush animals and other toys opened in Sydney back in 1913. It was founded by Harold Chapman, and for more than 100 years millions of “patients” who needed restoration were in the hands of puppet doctors. For 3 generations, the workshop of the Chapman family replanted plastic limbs and sew plush heads. It sounds creepy, but let's see how everything really looks!

Since the place is very colorful, photographers are very fond of being here. One of them is Jason Reed, whose photos we will see now.

Currently, the hospital for the dolls is managed by the grandson of Harold Chapman Jeff.

And here is the new "patient." And a little girl who is worried about her toy.

Before proceeding with the restoration, the material must be softened. For this, the dolls are dipped in hot water.
