The Valencian Toy Museum, also known as Museo Valenciano del Juguete, is situated in the city of Ibi, within the Province of Alicante in the Autonomous Region of Valencia. This museum is a significant cultural landmark that showcases the rich history of toy manufacturing in the region.

Opening and Collection of the Valencian Toy Museum

The Valencian Toy Museum was first opened to the public on December 20, 1990. It initially housed a collection of approximately 4000 tin toys, dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries. These toys provide a glimpse into the past, showcasing the craftsmanship and creativity of the toy manufacturers of that era.

Relocation and Reopening of the Valencian Toy Museum

In 2009, the Valencian Toy Museum was relocated to the former factory building of the historic toy manufacturer, Payá Brothers. The museum was then reopened to the public on November 29, 2013. This move not only provided more space for the museum's growing collection but also added a layer of historical significance, as the building itself is a part of the region's toy manufacturing history.
