Toy museum of Catalonia, Toy museum in Figueres, Spain.

The Toy Museum of Catalonia occupies the Hotel Paris, a manor house built in 1767 on Figueres' Rambla. Its rooms display about 4,000 pieces from a collection of more than 15,000 games and toys, tracing industrial toy production in Catalonia: cardboard horses, tin wind-up toys, dolls, trains, tricycles and construction sets. A section covers Salvador Dalí's first twenty years with his toys and family photographs.

The museum opened in 1982 in the Hotel Paris, a mansion built in 1767 as the residence of the Baron of Terrades. Its founder, Josep Maria Joan Rosa, based it on his personal collection. It received the National Prize for Popular Culture in 1999 and the Creu de Sant Jordi in 2007.

The collection reflects how toys have shaped childhood memories across generations in this region. Visitors can observe how different eras of play are represented and the role traditional craftsmanship played in local toy production.

The museum occupies the Hotel Paris, the former mansion of the Baron of Terrades, on the Rambla of Figueres. The visit follows a themed route through several rooms, with a space devoted to Salvador Dalí's first twenty years. Allow enough time to read the display cases, which mix toys, photographs and period documents.

The museum holds over 15,000 games and toys, but only about 4,000 are on display; the rest stay in storage. Among the exhibited pieces are toys that belonged to figures such as Joan Brossa, Quim Monzó, Ernest Lluch, Salvador Puig Antich and Terenci Moix, and a section covers Salvador Dalí's first twenty years with his toys, moving postcards and family album photographs.
