İstanbul Toy Museum, Toy museum in Erenköy, Turkey
The İstanbul Toy Museum is housed in a historic mansion in the Erenköy neighborhood and displays a collection of antique toys from around 40 countries. The items are arranged in different rooms, each focusing on a particular theme or era of toy production.
The museum was established in 2005 following the vision of Turkish writer Sunay Akın. The collection traces how toys evolved across different centuries and civilizations.
The toys on display tell stories about how children played in different times and places around the world. Each section reflects what mattered to families in different eras, from simple handmade dolls to toys inspired by space travel.
The museum is easily accessible by public transport, with trains stopping at Erenköy Station and buses serving the Göztepe stop nearby. It helps to have the exact address when visiting, as the building sits slightly away from main roads.
The café on the lower floor is designed to look like a dollhouse, creating a playful environment for younger visitors. Families often hold birthday celebrations and storytelling events in this charming space.
