Toy Museum, Historic toy collection in central Brussels, Belgium

The Toy Museum occupied a former mansion dating from 1878 at 24, rue de l'Association/Verenigingstraat, in Brussels' Freedom Quarter. Its three floors held 1,000 m² of exhibition space, where a glass-fronted wooden display case shows a red-brick model house, green-roofed miniature buildings, a model truck, a yellow model airplane marked "F KRS", a small white boat and an open book.

The museum opened in 1990 starting with a private family collection of toy enthusiasts. It grew larger through donations from other collectors and through purchases that expanded the holdings over time.

The museum's core collection was assembled by the family of André Raemdonck, amateur toy enthusiasts, and grew through public donations and purchases. The holdings number over 25,000 historic toys and games, mostly from the 1950s to the 1980s, with the oldest dating to 1830. The display case in the entrance holds a red-brick model house, a yellow model airplane marked "F KRS", a small white boat and an open book.

The museum occupied a former 1878 mansion at 24, rue de l'Association/Verenigingstraat, in the Freedom Quarter, with 1,000 m² of exhibition space over three floors. It closed permanently at the beginning of July 2018 after the Brussels fire service (SIAMU) judged the building unsafe for visitors, and it never reopened. In January 2026 the Raemdonck family began a clearance sale to vacate the premises.

The collection spans from old toys made in the 1800s to examples from the mid-1900s, many coming from everyday household use. These pieces show how families entertained their children with simple materials long before modern plastic toys existed.
