State Museum of Toys, Toy museum in Pecherskyi District, Kyiv, Ukraine

The State Museum of Toys houses over 15,000 exhibits across three permanent exhibitions displaying the evolution of toy manufacturing in Ukraine.

The museum originated from a 1933 Soviet decree that established toy museums in major cities, with its first permanent exhibition opening in Kyiv in 1936.

The collection features traditional Ukrainian folk toys characterized by simple forms, bright decorations, and sound elements that reflect local craftsmanship traditions.

Located at Klovskyi Descent 8, the museum welcomes 20,000 visitors annually and maintains regular exhibitions focused on childhood development through play.

The museum displays the first transformer toy from 1940 called From Horse to Tractor, representing technological advancement in Soviet-era toy production.
