The Mint Museum of Toys Singapore

See the toys you played with, recognise the ones you always wanted and explore a world of toys you didn´t even know existed. 

The Mint Museum of Toys hosts a very impressive collection of 50,000 rare and antique toys from over 40 countries worldwide. From trinkets to full collections of figurines with an estimated value of over 5 million Singapore dollars.

The exhibits are arranged according to different themes such as Outer Space, to Comic Characters, then to Childhood Favourites and finally to Collectable Toys.

The Comic Characters section contains a fascinating collection of rare Batman toys, including Commissioner Gordon’s car and a Batman Robot, while the Childhood Favourites section has a huge collection of dolls and teddy bears that is said to be one of the largest in Asia. By taking you through its impressive array of toys, the museum hopes to rekindle the memories of your own childhood, in the same way as Pixar’s Toy Story series, perhaps. You might even recognise some of your own toys from way back. You feel young at heart again.

The museum hopes to portray toys as more than mere playthings, to show that toys convey the culture and history of the countries in which they were made and played in. Ultimately, the museum promises to tell the story of the world in the 19th and 20th century through the unique medium of vintage toys.
