In this collection there are toys made by all sorts of toy manufacturers from the most important
to the smallest, including the most ordinary toys and the most precious. There are also records of
children's pastimes over the last hundred and fifty years. Most major manufacturing countries of
Europe had toy industries in the last century; French and German factories produced millions of
toys each year. Many collectors of toys think that the second half of the nineteenth century was
the best period for toy production and the museum has many examples of toys from this period
