Angel's Attic

Since 1984, Angel's Attic has been offering the public an opportunity to see antique and contemporary dollhouses in a museum-like setting. Occupying seven galleries, collections of miniatures, dolls, and toys are featured, too, all contained within a restored 1895 Queen Anne Victorian cottage. Visitors are welcome to look through the many display cabinets full of tiny replicas, some of them as old as four centuries.

The on-site Museum Store also offers merchandise for sale, including miniatures, dolls, books, art work, and gift items. There are collectibles from specialty suppliers, such as the Danbury Mint and Franklin Mint, and packing and shipping services are provided. Also on the premises is Angel's Attic Garden and its small greenhouse, available for special events and gatherings from birthday parties and baby showers to club and business meetings. Tours can be arranged by appointment for school and social groups.

Angel's Attic is located on the corner of Colorado Avenue and Fifth Street at 516 Colorado Avenue, Santa Monica, California 90401. Operating hours are noon to 4pm on Thursday through Saturday; closed on major holidays. General admission is $8 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $5 for children aged 11 years and under. Metered parking is available on the street.
