Did you know that toys have their own museum? In Poissy, in the Yvelines department, the Musée du Jouet has been welcoming the curious since 1974, with the aim of showcasing a collection of 800 toys and games dating from Antiquity to the present day.
Housed in theformer Saint-Louis royal priory, the collection explores the role of toys in the education of children and their psychomotor development, and teaches us more about society's view of children, their initiation into the modern world, and the evolving strategies of toy designers.
From the earliest antique toys - including rattles, cars, animals and dolls, presented thanks to a deposit from the Louvre Museum - to the latest toys in vogue, over 600 objects are on display in the windows of the small 300 m² museum. Enough to inspire families looking for an original cultural visit to make with the kids! Why not take advantage of the Nuit des Musées to discover this amazing place? We reveal the program that awaits you!
