The Toys and Children Museum provides its visitors with an original
historical perspective through an interesting itinerary among toys
of the past. Surrounded by the magical atmosphere of the museum,
it is possible to retrace the evolution of toys and to discover the
historical and social value of the activity of playing during the
history of the last three centuries.
The exhibition, divided into two possible types of tour, envisages
an historical itinerary that illustrates the transition from handmade
toys to “romantic” toys, the golden age of toys, the world of toys in
between the two World Wars and the boost towards the future of
the Fifties. On the other hand, a theme-based tour leads the visitor
to the discovery of toys for baby girls, of the game of war, circus and
theatre, up to those toys educating to a “funny science”.
Opening times: On Sundays and holidays, from 2.30 pm to 7 pm. For groups and schools, the museum can be opened on other day
