| In the museum
you can see a unique collection of Danish and foreign toys
and child cultures covering the last 125 years. The collection
contains several thousand pieces of toys, books, comics, models
and kinds of child culture.
Almost every toy is a reflection of the real world. While
the toys for girls often relate to home and children through
dolls, dollhouses, clothes, Fashion, kitchen utensils, and
constructions kits. The toys for boys often are about construction
and war. That is why you will find lots of trains, ships,
cars, spacecrafts, and soldiers among the "boy?toys".
Other things like farm toys, Zoo animals, cartoon characters,
plus books, magazines, and board games the children also have
in common.
The museum also has a large, running Märklin model railroad.
Stop by and watch your childhood come to life, and bring your
children or grandchildren.
In the shop you can bay new and second?hand model trains,
old fashioned toys, dolls, cars, and souvenirs.

Most
boys and men will pro-bably stop at the big rail-road
model in the museum's centre. It is constructed as a
landsca-pe which shows three places from three european
countries - that is Denmark, Germany and Switzerland.
The places here, are made from pure fantasi, though.
In the landscape runs little train models of trains
from these countries.
There is another railroad model in the museum, that
is a model of a part of Svendborg city. It is more minded
on smaller chil-dren, as they can control the trains
themselves. |
