HISTORY
The Toy Museum in Sergiev
Posad near Moscow was the
first toy museum in Europe. It
was founded in 1918 by the
artist and teacher Nickolay
Bartram. At first he organized
a museum in his flat in
Moscow. In 1931 the museum
moved to Zagorsk, and in 1980
– to Sergiev Posad.

Kingdom». In the museum you can see more
than 150,000 works of art from Russia, the
