Toys 

If you love toys, real toys,we have some very interesting information for you. Our museum, which is located next to the cathedral, contains dolls, dolls' houses, books, games and pastimes, mechanical and constructional toys.We have a collection of toys made by a wide variety of toy manufacturers, from the most important to the smallest, including the most ordinary toys and the most precious.

We also have records of children's pastimes over the last hundred and fifty years. The manufacture of toys was a major industry in Europe in the previous century, especially in France and Germany, where millions of toys were produced each year. In fact, the second half of the nineteenth century is considered by many collectors of toys to be the best period for toy production, and we have many examples of toys from this period which are still in perfect condition. Toys of the 1920s and 1930s are also now gaining in interest, and as a consequence, the museum has begun to build up a collection from these years.

So, come and visit us, we would love to see you! Our opening hours are from 10.00-17.30 every day (except December 25 and 26),and you will find that someone is always available to answer questions. See you soon.
