PERMANENT COLLECTION

Visit the Mechelen Toy Museum and admire one of the largest toy collections in the world. Exhibited in an area of 7000m2, you can see toys from all over the world, from the past and present. You can walk through beautifully designed decors, which emphasize the value and the beauty of the displayed objects.

Visiting the Toy Museum means more then just watching: a single touch on a button and trains, clowns, and fair attractions start to move. On your journey through the museum, you can literally step into Pieter Brueghel’s painting, you see trains on a scale of 1/220 to 1/1 and you can even experience the Battle of Waterloo with Napoleon.

Our toy collection fascinates young and old. Children wonder about the simplicity of their grandparents’ toys. Adults feel themselves children again when they recognize the toys from the time they were young!
