The museum chronicles Dénia's toy industry that began in 1904 with lithographed tin toys imported from Germany, later evolving into wooden toy production that reached its golden age during the 1950s and 1960s.
The collection reflects the social and cultural evolution of childhood entertainment in early 20th century Spain, showcasing how toys served as educational tools and represented societal values through miniature representations of daily life.
