The collection is presented on the three floors of the Trinsenturm, one of three surviving towers from the late medieval city fortifications and today a historic landmark of the city. Since 2012, those interested have found a wide variety of toys from the 19th century here, in addition to historical Käthe Kruse dolls and those made of celluloid. Shops and living rooms, which once invited children to role-play, now also convey a picture of the educational goals and living conditions in which they were created in the toy museum. Changing special exhibitions complete the offer.
