Review of Spielzeug Museum (Toy Museum)

Founded in 1978 and part of the Salzburg Museum, this museum shares an entrance with the Museum of Historic Musical Instruments. In fact, a ticket for that museum also entitles you to admission to the Toy Museum -- or vice versa. The Toy Museum possesses the largest collection in Austria of historical European toys. Feast upon an array of antique dolls and doll houses, paper theaters, metal and wooden toys, and soft and furry toys, especially the collection of teddy bears.

There is also a selection of optical toys, tin and pewter figures, and railway sets. A Punch and Judy show is scheduled every Tuesday and Wednesday at 3pm except in summer. An on-site shop sells a wide array of toys in the Bürgerspital or civilian hospital, which was constructed around the most beautiful Renaissance courtyard in Salzburg.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
