The history of toys in the museum
Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of toys and be enchanted by a private collection that includes pieces from the period from 1830 to 1975.
Journey of discovery through the permanent exhibition
Our permanent exhibition offers a wide range of exhibits that document the development of toys over the decades. Discover more than 500 dolls, over 100 doll's houses, almost 1,500 model cars, steam engines, trains, teddy bears, picture books and games.
The collection: a glimpse into the past
All the items on display come from a unique private collection that reflects the diversity and change of toys over almost 150 years. Here you can find out how toys have changed over time and what role they have played in children's development.
Special exhibitions on special themes
In addition to the permanent exhibition, we regularly offer special exhibitions dedicated to specific aspects of toy history. These themed exhibitions provide even deeper insights into the development and cultural significance of toys.
Adults and children on a journey of discovery
Adults can indulge in nostalgic childhood memories or learn more about the educational background and history of the toys during a guided tour. Children, on the other hand, can go in search of fairy tales with picture puzzles or playfully solve tasks from puzzle boxes that encourage their creativity and problem-solving skills.
From the basement to the attic - a toy journey for everyone
A journey through the world of toys leads from the basement to the attic of the former cobbler's workshop. Every visitor - whether young or old - will always find new discoveries here and can experience the history of toys in their own personal way.
