This bizarre little place is located in the canals of Xochimilco. Island and "musuem" owner Julian Santana began covering the island in dolls and asking them to protect him and the island over fifty years ago. Nowadays the island is cared for by a relative of the now deceased Julian Santana. The island is open to visitors for a small fee - its a strange and slightly creepy place but worth taking the time to visit if you are in Xochimilco.
You can read Julian Santanas story on the official government site linked above (in spanish).
