National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum
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. It is the only bobblehead-specific museum in the world.
History: The museum was established in 2014 by Brad Novak and Phil Sklar. The museum did not find a permanent location in Milwaukee until 2017. 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. The museum often makes bobbleheads for current events such as “Alligator Rob and Chance the Snapper” 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.

A bobblehead, also known as a nodder, wobbler, is a type of collectible doll. Its head is often oversized compared to its body. Instead of a solid connection, its head is connected to the body by a spring or hook[1] in such a way that a light tap will cause the head to bobble, hence the name.
