National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum is a museum devoted to bobblehead dolls. It is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The museum claims to have 10,000 different bobbleheads from around the world, including a life-size bobblehead.[1] It is the only bobblehead-specific museum in the world.[2]

History

The museum was established in 2014 by Brad Novak and Phil Sklar.[3] The museum did not find a permanent location in Milwaukee until 2017.[4] When the Guinness Book of Records certifies the museum's bobblehead collection, it is expected to surpass the current record holder Phil Darling who was certified to have 2,396 bobbleheads.[1] The museum often makes bobbleheads for current events such as "Alligator Rob and Chance the Snapper"[5][6] In 2019 the museum made a bobblehead for a Carson King of Iowa, who was featured on ESPN's "College GameDay". Sales of his bobblehead will generate donations for University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital.[7]
