Speelgoedmuseum Deventer

Largest collection

Toy Museum Deventer curates the largest public collection of toys in the Netherlands. The collection consists of over 13,000 toys used in the Netherlands. Ranging from unique dolls and dollhouses to toy trains, mechanical and optical toys to board and video games.

Renovated

The museum underwent major renovations in 2021. It has no large halls or corridors filled with art and items, but does have cozy rooms in two national heritage sites. The late-medieval warehouses have been kept intact as much as possible, to provide a perfect backdrop for these historic toys. The exhibitions connect the collection to various social issues, such as welfare, gender and technology.
