The Museo Veneto del Giocattolo<\/b> (Veneto Toy Museum<\/i>) was founded in 2006 <\/b>to preserve and guard the largest public collection of antique toys in the Veneto region, with unique pieces that trace the history from the late 19th century to the present day, including ships, trains, aeroplanes, cars and robots. <\/p>\n

The museum’s mission is to recover the educational, playful and cultural significance of toys, as an experience of the lived experience of the elderly and as an element of relationship with the younger generations. <\/p>\n

Housed in the \u2018Civitas Vitae Angelo Ferro\u2019<\/i> complex of the Fondazione Opera Immacolata Concezione onlus, it is structured in themed rooms and has an area for educational workshops.
All toys are provided with a label giving a brief description, the year they were made, the country of origin and a multimedia QRCode with which it is possible to access further in-depth information, detailed photos and exclusive videos.
The museum is a point of reference for many schools, thanks to the visit experience \u2018Viaggio nel tempo con i Nonni del Cuore\u2019 (Journey through time with the Grandparents of the Heart), dedicated in particular to the first three years of primary school and realised in collaboration with the volunteers of the Associazione Agora\u2018- Terza Eta\u2019 Protagonista.
From time to time, the museum organises special thematic events, such as the \u2018Train Days\u2019 (in which it is possible to drive one’s own train on the three large model railways) or the Coderdojo (digital educational afternoons for children aged 7 to 13).<\/p>\n
