Highlights of the largest collection of tin toys (closed from 28 August to the end of October 2023)
ATTENTION! The toy train exhibition will be closed and inaccessible to our guests from Monday 28 August until the end of October 2023 due to renovation work on the adjacent "Electricity and Magnets" exhibition. Thank you for your understanding.
Clear the way for a visit to the world's largest collection of Dr. Bommer tin toys – with many pearls for young and old.
Toy railways are an emphatically playful yet technically and historically significant reflection of the development of rail transport. This distinguishes them from the meticulously correct replica model railways.
Beyond the big world on small wheels, visitors may also marvel at ships, aircraft and airships. For example, the famous triple-engine "Iron Annie", submarines from the First World War era and the most exquisite model steam engines.
And because railways are most fun when they're actually running, MÄRKLIN and BUCO train combinations from past eras chug reliably around the tracks, inviting you to relax between experimenting on the other floors.
