National Toy and Miniature Museum

The National Toy and Miniature Museum displays fine-scale miniatures and historic toys across two floors. The collection features thousands of objects housed in a building on Oak Street in Kansas City.

The museum was founded in 1982 and grew to become the world's largest collection of fine-scale miniatures. Its expansion reflects a long tradition of toy collecting and miniature craftsmanship in America.

The toy collection shows how American society has changed through objects from past centuries to today. You can see toys from different eras that reflect everyday habits and entertainment of their time.

The museum is open Wednesday through Monday with accessible galleries on both floors. The rooms are well organized for self-guided exploration at your own pace.

The museum contains 38 rooms displaying dollhouses and detailed miniature recreations of famous places from around the world. One notable display shows a reproduction of King Louis the Fifteenth's study at Versailles.
