The Toy Museum was created to collect and display the history and culture of toys; its collection is rich, through numerous toys spanning from ancient to modern times over centuries, it vividly shows the evolution and craft of toys: from rustic wooden toys, fine tin soldiers and models, gorgeous dolls and delicate dollhouses (miniature room scenes, especially fine), to train models, mechanical toys and modern toys of all kinds, endlessly fascinating, evoking childhood memories (especially for adults) while delighting children. The museum usually has an interactive play area for kids.
