Musée du jouet de Gdańsk, Private toy museum in central Gdańsk, Poland.
The Galeria Starych Zabawek displays a wide collection of Polish toys made between 1920 and 1989, including dolls, teddy bears, vehicles, and board games. Original catalogs are maintained to verify and document the authenticity of each item on display.
Founded in 2011 by Bernadeta and Wojciech Szymański, the museum records the development of Polish toy manufacturing during a period of major social change. The collection spans an era when materials, designs, and production methods transformed significantly.
The collection reflects toys that were part of everyday Polish life across different decades. Visitors can see miniature farm vehicles and traditional dollhouse furnishings that reveal what mattered to children during those times.
The museum is located at Piwna Street 19/21 in central Gdańsk and is open daily except Mondays. Visitors should allow time to explore the collection, which is spread across different rooms and spaces.
The museum operates vintage projectors to show cartoons from past decades alongside the toys, offering visitors a sense of what children's entertainment looked like then. A historical photo archive also documents the workshops and manufacturing processes of early Polish toy makers.
