Doll Asylum

The Doll Asylum is an annual Halloween experience and makeshift doll-themed museum, originally hosted at a couple's private residence in Portland, Oregon's Piedmont neighborhood, in the United States.

Mark Williams and Heidi Loutzenhiser originally decided to host an open house as a way to meet their new neighbors, having moved to the neighborhood in 2010.

[1][2] They considered a bird theme until Williams saw a doll leaning against a tree across the street from his house.

[1][2] In 2017, the Doll Asylum moved to Astoria, Oregon, where open houses continue around Halloween.

[3] One KOIN reporter said of his experience, "I didn't really know what to expect upon arriving to the home that has a hundred or so dolls dwelling inside.
