Philadelphia Doll Museum

A $400,000 grant from the Ruth Foundation for the Arts will preserve the legacy of the Philadelphia Doll Museum.  Now closed, the museum was founded by Barbara Whiteman in 1988. Whiteman is seen on the far right in the above screenshot from Inquirer.com, where the full article can be read for free (for a limited amount of clicks before a popup to subscribe to the Inquirer appears. 

After scrolling down at the following link, read about the foundation's involvement at the Ruth Foundation for the Arts website here. There is also a slideshow and a video about the Philadephia Doll Museum embedded in the slideshow.
