Museu do Brincar
About This Museum
Tucked away in the charming town of Vagos, the Museu do Brincar is a vibrant love letter to childhood that feels miles away from a stuffy, traditional museum. You don't just look at toys here; you're invited into a world of pure, unadulterated play, from vintage dollhouses to intricate model trains that click-clack along their tracks. The air hums with the sound of children's laughter and the occasional chime of a forgotten game, making it impossible not to feel a wave of nostalgia. It’s less an exhibition and more an experience, reminding every visitor of the universal joy found in a simple toy.
