About This Museum

You know how most toy museums feel a bit... predictable? This one is different. It's in Sonneberg, which was basically the toy-making capital of the world for centuries, so the collection feels deeply authentic. Walking through its floors is like taking a journey through 200 years of play, from intricate old dollhouses to quirky GDR-era plastic figures. It’s surprisingly personal and full of charm.

Collection Highlights

The sheer variety is amazing—there are entire villages of historic dollhouses, teddy bears that have seen a thing or two, and a fascinating section dedicated to toys produced in former East Germany. Don't miss the incredible Thuringian folk toys carved from wood; the craftsmanship is breathtaking.
