Mint Museum of Toy

 

This is a long overdue post on the Mint Museum of Toy. I went there almost two years ago but didn't have the time to blog about it. YAY!! Finally have a bit of time now!

This museum is located in the heart of the city, near Raffles Hotel. There are five storeys in the building, each storey housing toys adhering to a particular theme.

While I prefer playing with toys to just looking at them, the museum does provide a "rich mix of nostalgia, education and inspiration" like they boast of on their website. For adults thinking of visiting, I suspect that a dash of imagination and certain familiarity with the subjects are required for adults to fully enjoy the museum.

Things to do

• Count the number of scary and racist toys!
• Play hopscotch!
• Sit and reminisce about your childhood...
• Buy a mint toy?
• Treat yourself to chicken wings and drinks at the mint cafe :)

Yup, so if you're interested, here are the details:
