The Toy Museum in Salzburg looks like a true children's paradise. The fun begins right in the cloakroom, where visitors are given bright slippers. Then children can have all the fun they want, exploring a wide variety of toys, whose exhibition is arranged in an extremely engaging way. You can slide down from one floor to another, while shy adults use the boring stairs.
The museum's collections cover a period of about 300 years; it is the largest collection of this kind in all of Austria. It is worth noting that the museum itself is housed in a historic 16th-century building that previously served as St. Blaise's hospital.
Adults quickly turn into children here, especially when they notice the toys they used to play with in their distant childhood. The exhibits here are made from different materials - wood, iron, paper, plastic, and fabric. Many of them are rare, so you will hardly be allowed to play with them.
It is hard to believe that so many different toys exist in the world. You will see many dolls of different shapes and sizes, toy soldiers, construction sets, cars, railways, and board games. Your eyes wander from all this splendor, and you truly want to return to a happy childhood.
