Toy Museum Salzburg, Interactive toy museum in Salzburg, Austria
The Salzburg Toy Museum is a museum with collections spanning several centuries displayed across three floors. The exhibition includes dollhouses in various styles, vintage teddy bears made from different materials, and working model trains with detailed railway layouts.
The museum was founded in the early 1980s and displays toys from various time periods. Since then it has become a recognized institution that documents and preserves the history of children's play in Europe.
The collection shows how children played in different eras and what toys were popular at various times. You see traditional Austrian dolls and handmade objects that reveal how play has changed across generations.
The museum is easily accessible on foot in the old town and has exhibitions spread across all three floors where visitors can move at their own pace. There are stairs and elevators to move between levels, and it is important to allow enough time to see everything without rushing.
On the second floor there is a metal slide through which visitors can glide directly to the floor below, bringing a playful element to their visit. This is a popular way for children to move between levels and makes the museum experience more entertaining.
