Toy Museum

It is a haven not just for lovers of tin toys and figures, Lego and Märklin-buildong blocks, railways and Schuco cars, dolls and doll’s houses; fans of the famous Steiff animals will get their money’s worth here too. Erik the bat, a very special and rare Steiff animal from the 1960s, is one of the characters to have found a new home here, along with a whole host of his lively buddies from the most diverse of animal families, who potter about in the historic city setting just as the little elves once did. Other highlights include a tin dancing bear from 1880, who can today still swing his dancing leg, and ‘Edmund’s zoo’, with its countless intricately crafted Elastolin figures.

A must for: Children. The young at heart. Teddy-bear-cuddlers and miniature fans. Engine drivers, Lego lovers and those who still keep their favourite toys in their cupboard.

PSSSST! THE INSIDER TIP:
How many monkeys are in the clown orchestra? What festival is celebrated in the big doll’s house? Where does the name ‘teddy bear’ come from? From where to where does the ‘Through the Moselle Valley’ dice game lead? These are some of the questions children aged 6 and over have to answer in order to join the museum hunt, which is split into two degrees of difficulty. And the Toy Museum can of course also host fun and colourful birthday parties for children.
