Preparation and organisation of the exhibition is the culmination of a two-year educational project called Games of our folks aiming at the presentation of selected toys from the Museum’s collections through specific events and plays. The exhibition is divided into two parts.
Presentation of the toy collection of the Bratislava City Museum that preserves almost 3000 items dating from the 2nd half of the 19th century up to the end of the 20th century.

Majority of toy items can be seen at this exhibition as genuine exhibits. The collection has not been developed systematically and only last years did see more active process of toy acquisition, in particular from the 2nd half of the 20th century.

Therefore, the exhibition cannot be considered as documenting the history of toys but as an invitation to the world of children and as an example of games of our folks.

Interactivity at the exhibition of toys Welcome, play and touch!

We prepared for you games and toys inspired by collection items preserved until today in the Museum‘s deposit. Try to find them among exhibits. Many of them are, in fact, smaller. Try everything the interactive part of the exhibition offers. Sit down in the kitchen. Find out what a flywheel is, have a game of Man, Don't Get Angry, solve a puzzle, dress a doll, make paper dolls, read, watch a story of toys and if you run out of time and do not try it all, come again...
