Museo del Giocattolo

The museum collection contains 1600 toys from the 2nd century BC to 1900 and 100 wax works from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Pietro Piraino Papoff established this institution in 1994, and in 2002 it moved to Villa Aragona Cutò before settling in Villa Certosa in 2014.

The museum exhibits include small terracotta toys from ancient graves, dollhouses with miniature furnishings, and wooden toys representing Sicilian peasant life.

The facility operates Tuesday through Saturday from 09:00 to 12:30, with standard admission at €5 and reduced rates at €3 for children and groups.

The restoration laboratory creates new wax statues using traditional modeling techniques, maintaining historical craftsmanship methods.
