Vilnius Toys' Museum

Žaislų muziejus

The oldest, the most popular, the rarest, the smallest, the biggest, the most expensive – these are the adjectives museums often use to describe their exhibits. The aim of the Toy Museum is not only to showcase unique toys and games but also to allow its visitors to try them out!

Our goal is not to collect all possible toys and games. We are attempting to pick and choose the most interesting ones and to present them to our visitors so they can SEE, LEARN and TEST them!

Unique original toys must be carefully protected and have to be exhibited under special microclimatic conditions. Thus, visitors cannot touch or play with those. At the Toy Museum, we want to show you the originals but also provide copies for you to touch, explore and play with.

The Toys’ Museum in Vilnius is a very young museum which chose the direction of modern museology and wishes to demonstrate that science and culture may present a very interesting experience which enriches a person’s childhood. The Toys’ Museum transmits scientific knowledge about the history of toys from the oldest to modern times in a family friendly way, through personal experience gained playing with toy replicas, participating in workshops, listening to fairytales, taking part in discussions and conversations with professional educators. The museum creates a relaxing atmosphere, fosters creativity and curiosity and thus helps develop a child’s personality as well as builds bridges between visitors of all generations.

The museum is closed on Monday. On Tuesday it's only open for groups, please book in advance.
