Museo del giocattolo
About This Museum
Tucked away in the historic heart of Perugia, the Museo del Giocattolo feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping into a lovingly curated attic of collective memory. Its magic lies in its intimate, almost personal scale, where each toy feels chosen for its story rather than its rarity. You'll find everything from delicate porcelain dolls with hand-stitched dresses to early tin cars that still seem ready to race across the floor. It’s a quiet, charming journey that reconnects you with the simple ingenuity of play.
Collection Highlights
Look for the intricate dioramas and mechanical automata that spring to life with a gentle push of a button. The collection of painted lead soldiers and elaborate dollhouses, complete with miniature furniture, are particularly captivating windows into past domestic worlds.
Visitor Information
It's a perfect, compact visit for a rainy afternoon—you can easily see everything in under an hour. While kids will be wide-eyed at the vintage wonders, it’s the adults who often find themselves most transported, pointing out toys they remember from their own childhoods.
Architecture & Building
Housed within a classic Umbrian stone building, the museum's rustic interiors with their worn wooden floors and soft lighting perfectly complement the nostalgic treasures on display.
