Turkey's Antalya and Kuşadası Toy Museums Draw Growing Visitors

The Antalya Toy Museum, operated by the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality, showcases a collection of about 3,000 toys dating from the 1860s to the 1980s, including pieces from Germany, the United States and Japan. The museum offers free admission, workshops for children over three years old, and has been praised by visitors for its nostalgic atmosphere and well‑designed layout.

In Kuşadası, the municipality is completing a new Toy Museum that will present historic and modern toys to both children and adults. Mayor Ömer Günel and his wife Duygu Gül Günel have highlighted the project as a cultural investment for the city, noting that the museum will become a new attraction once it opens to the public.
