Ancient toy museum
Dr. Olvera 15, Mexico City, Mexico
About the company:
The Toy Museum is a private collection owned by the Shimizu family.
It was founded in 1955 by Roberto Shimizu, who was a famous architect in Mexico.
Previously, there was a shop for Roberto’s original toys brought from Japan. Over time, the store became a museum.
Roberto purchased toys from flea markets, bazaars, suppliers and other means. The oldest toy was made in 1800. There are several million toys in the museum. A small part of the collection is exhibited in showcases, and most are stored in warehouses.
Thematic exhibitions are constantly held in the museum.
