Cody,
Thanks for the plug, but I'm unfortunately not able to help with this
question. I'm not aware of any toy or doll-specific museums in Southern
California. We have been trained by Mr. Stuart to not use the word "doll" in
reference to his figures, as they are really 3-dimensional portraits of
people from history. Visit his website www.galleryhistoricalfigures.com to
see the figures.

The Ventura County Museum of History and Art has a permanent
collection exhibition of historical dolls made by an Ojai artist,
George Stuart. I have now idea what their acquisition policies look,
but I'm sure their staff would have a good sense of similar
collections and appropriate homes for your donor's collection.
