Finnish Toy Museum
A museum for the whole family!
The Finnish Toy Museum Hevosenkenkä is a toy and game museum located in the WeeGee Exhibition Centre in Espoo. The permanent exhibition introduces visitors to the history of toys and games in Finland from the days of Russian rule in the late 19th century until the age of information in which we live now. The museum also organizes annual special exhibitions, collects toys and adds to its collections for the joy and learning of future generations.
