The Toy Museum in Karpacz is a unique place not only among the attractions of the Karkonosze Mountains but also on the entire museum map of Poland, housing an impressive collection of toys spanning centuries.
The Toy Museum in Karpacz was established in 1995 - it was created based on an impressive collection of toys gathered by Henryk Tomaszewski, a dancer, director, choreographer, and founder of the Wroclaw Pantomime Theatre. The artist, who lived in Karpacz from 1984 until his death in 2001, donated his collection to the city.
The Toy Museum is located in the restored building of the former railway station, in the center of Karpacz, at 3 Kolejowa Street.
Visitors can find over 2,000 toys from different eras (the museum has exhibits even from the 18th century) and corners of the world, including porcelain dolls, theaters, toys from Japan, Australia, Mexico, Russia, and Germany, as well as miniature furniture and dollhouses. Exhibits are carefully arranged in hand-painted showcases. The youngest can take a journey through the history of toys, while adults can briefly return to the carefree days of childhood.
The museum also offers temporary exhibitions. During winter holidays and summer vacations, art workshops for children and whole families are organized. These certainly represent an additional attraction especially useful on a rainy holiday day. There is also a small café on-site where visitors can enjoy coffee and a portion of delicious homemade cake.
Directly in front of the Toy Museum building, there is a free parking lot available to visitors. It is a great convenience for those traveling by car, especially families with children.
