The complex and unique mechanism of these dolls was invented over 50 years ago by George Saravanovym - founder of the Varna Puppet Theatre. They are somewhat similar to the puppets, but thanks to a special method of attachment are set in motion by pressing the keys.

Among others, the museum can be seen dolls that have been involved in such children's performances as "Pinocchio," "Sleeping Beauty" and the play based on the biblical stories. Some dolls were involved in productions for teenagers (eg, in the performance of Baron Munchausen). There are dolls that are "played" and in performances for adults: "Love, Love", "The Queen of Spades," "The Birds".

Some of the exhibits of dolls took part in the XII International Festival of Puppet Theatres in Tolosa (Spain) in 1994.
