Suomenlinna Toy Museum

Suomenlinna Toy Museum

The Suomenlinna Toy Museum, located in Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland, is a private museum established in 1985 that houses a collection of toys from the 19th century to the 1960s. These vintage toys were gathered across Finland and form part of the country's cultural history, with over 10,000 visitors each year.

The museum was founded by Piippa Tandefelt, who bought her first toy for her daughter in the 1960s. A few years later, recognizing the significant value of antique toys, she began collecting them extensively. The museum now houses up to a thousand vintage toys, the oldest of which date back to the early 19th century, including puppet toys, doll-like children’s toys, and hundreds of teddy bears. There is also a café on-site that serves delicious homemade apple pies to visiting guests.
