Ospedal Delle Bambole

Cabinet of Wonders drew my attention to this amazing little place in Napoli (now added to my Italian destinations list).

As someone who loves art, science and sociology equally, I’m extremely interested in the ways people choose to replicate and display the human form. Thus my fascination with creepy dolls makes perfect sense, and should not surprise anyone.


(The above photo looks like something I would do with spare doll parts…because it “seemed like a good idea at the time”)

I wish there were a more definitive travel guide to these typically unseen treasures. Over the years, I suppose I’ve been compiling my own.
