Art and Pedagogical Toy Museum

About museum

The Toy Museum was founded in Moscow in 1918. Its founder was artist, collector and museum figure N.D. Bartram, who began assembling his collection in the early 1910s. Initially the Toy Museum was formed in the artist-collector's apartment on the Garden Ring.

N.D. Bartram remained at the head of the museum until his death in 1931. In 1931 the Toy Museum was moved from Moscow to Zagorsk (now Sergiev Posad), the "capital of the toy realm." Since 1980 it has been located in an old mansion of the former commercial school above Kelarsky Pond.

The museum's collection includes monuments of children's culture from the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoye Selo, the Livadia Palace, the Stroganov School of Art, as well as from nationalized private collections and specialized shops.
