Toy museum of Catalonia

The Toy Museum of Catalonia is a museum housed in a historic building that displays a major collection of toys from different eras. The exhibits include puppets, tin toys, dolls, vehicles, airplanes, and other objects that show various play traditions and manufacturing methods.

The museum occupies a building constructed in 1767 that originally served as a private residence for generations. Converting it into a museum helped preserve and share a unique collection of toy traditions from the region.

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.

A visit requires time to explore the different exhibition areas since there is much to see. It is helpful to arrive with realistic expectations and focus on the sections that interest you most.

A significant portion of the collection is kept in storage due to space constraints and is rotated regularly. This means repeat visits at different times often reveal new displays to discover.
