Do you still remember the first toy you received when you were a child? Toys are more than just objects that we play with—they hold sentimental value and evoke happy memories of our childhood. If you grew up with Astro Boy also known as Mighty Atom or loved bedtime stories favourites like Winnie The Pooh, you’ll be transported back to your childhood when you see some of these iconic characters on display and this time in Augmented Reality as well!
Looking at the toys on display, one can’t help but be transported back to an era of wonder and creativity!
The MINT Museum of Toys was founded in 2007 and till date remains the largest vintage toy museum in Asia with an ever-growing collection of 50,000 vintage toys and collectables including various action figures, advertising enamel signs, confectionery biscuit tins which are a fraction of what the museum collected from 40 over countries, ranging specifically between 1840s to 1980s.
The museum’s toy collection is spread across thematic levels namely Outerspace, Characters, Childhood Favourites and Collectables with featured exhibitions across 5 stairwells and rooftop level known as The Public Gallery.

Visitors will be able to access The Public Gallery at Level R (rooftop level) featuring the museum’s wacky host Mr Punch who will introduce Vintage Enamel Signs curated under Task at Home, Infant Care, Delicacies of Middle Class – Chocolates, Industrial Alehouses and Travel & Transportation.
