    I went along this yesterday as it's been fairly heavily pushed and I went to the old toy museum in Prague a few years back and enjoyed it a lot and was hoping for a similar experience here.

    But this turned out to be very poor. How they can justify charging €5 in is beyond me... no discount for children either.

    What the exhibit consisted of was about a dozen display cases haphazardly stacked with toys from different decades... the exhibits weren't labeled and just seemed to be placed randomly.

    Here's a Clanger and a black child lumped together for some unknown reason:

    More Random stuff...

    Great to see Zig, Zag and Zuppy again... but jaysus... could they not have gotten a bigger display case for them?

    But overall you'll have seen the whole thing in about 5 minutes or so... Down in the basement there was sort of messy play area where kids could play with jigsaws, space hoppers and draw on paper... but it was very noisy and it was a horrible narrow room.

    That sounds terrible.

    Basically you could put on a better exhibition by just clearing out your attic.
