Musee du Jouet

About

Nestled in the historic heart of Colmar, the Musée du Jouet invites visitors of all ages to step back in time and relive the joy of childhood through its extensive collection of toys that span from the 19th century to contemporary creations. Housed in a former cinema, the museum boasts three levels of themed displays, including an impressive railway network that traverses the entire second floor, offering a playful and educational experience for families. The collection showcases iconic brands such as Barbie, Playmobil, and early video games, alongside rare and culturally significant items from around the world. Beyond its engrossing exhibits, the museum offers interactive workshops and special events—such as the 'Ban!' series on dangerous toys—designed to engage younger audiences while educating visitors about safety and history. Admission is modest, with a general entry fee of 6.50 € for adults, 5 € for children aged 8 to 18, and free entry for those under eight, making it an affordable cultural destination in Alsace. Open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM (extended to 6 PM in July, August, and December, plus during school holidays), the Musée du Jouet is fully accessible to visitors with reduced mobility. Whether you’re a seasoned collector of nostalgic memorabilia or simply looking for a whimsical break in the city, the museum offers an enriching and charming experience that celebrates the timeless allure of play.
