Saint Petersburg Toy Museum

Saint Petersburg Toy Museum, Toy museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Saint Petersburg Toy Museum holds Russian and international toys, including folk creations, industrial pieces, and artistic dolls displayed across multiple galleries. The collection shows different materials, styles, and crafting techniques that developed over centuries.

The museum opened in 1997 as Russia's second toy museum and joined the Union of Museums of Russia shortly after its founding. This gave it recognition within the country's major museum network.

The museum shows how toys reflect the everyday life and values of different periods, blending traditional Russian craftsmanship with contemporary artistic approaches. Visitors can observe how toy design and materials evolved and the role handmade dolls and objects held in Russian culture.

The museum occupies 130 m² of exhibition space, with a further 60 m² for temporary shows and 30 m² of storage. Its library, archive and restoration workshops for textiles, ceramics and wood sit alongside the galleries. Around 12,000 visitors come each year, so the rooms stay small-scale; allow time to look closely at individual pieces.

The museum's collection numbers 17,211 items, of which 14,789 belong to the main fund. Its exhibition space covers 130 m², temporary shows 60 m² and storage 30 m², and it receives about 12,000 visitors a year. A staff of six, three of them researchers, runs the museum.
