The Toy Museum is a super cool place located in the town of Sant Feliu de Guíxols, which is in the Baix Empordà region of Spain. It's filled with over 6,500 amazing toys!
These toys were collected by Tomàs Pla. They date from the years 1870 all the way up to 1980. Most of them were even made right there in Spain. The museum first opened its doors in August 2000. It's housed in a beautiful building with a special design style called Catalan Art Nouveau.
Discovering Old Toys
This museum takes you on a journey through the history of toys. You can see how toys changed over time, from early ones made of tin to newer ones made of plastic. There are more than 2,200 toys on display for you to explore!
What You'll See
The museum has special rooms dedicated to different types of toys. You can find rooms just for model trains, which are super detailed. There's even a "street of horror" section, which sounds exciting! Of course, there are also many different kinds of dolls.
