The State Toy Museum in Ukraine was opened on the very first day of 2005. The museum exposition is based on an amazing collection of 10 thousand toys.

The exposition tells a lot of interesting things about technical and construction toys, figurines, stuffed toys, dolls, a unique collection of polygraphic games, Christmas tree decorations and much more, no less interesting and exciting.

The fantastic flight of design ideas, together with the constant influence of scientific and technological progress, were embodied in industrial designs of a sewing machine of the 50-70s, a toy iron (from a coal version to an electric one) and the like. Like children and adults will be pleased with the first artificial Christmas tree, created on the basis of chicken feathers, as well as a working model of a steam engine.
