Hello everyone, how are you? Some time ago, I went to Bandung, I went to the Toy Museum. This place reminds me of my childhood. There are not many girls' toys, only a few. What's in this toy museum?
This museum doesn't look like a museum. Outside it's just an ordinary house. But, after entering, there are more than 3000 toys in this museum. There is one more interesting thing, entering this museum must use a secret door.
I was lucky, I could chat a little about this museum. Although, not with the owner. When entering, we enter a toy shop. There are many toys here, starting from toys that are sold on consignment or are indeed sold by the shop owner.
When entering the museum, I was a little scared. Because, I had to go through several doors and the room was dark. After that, I found a toy heaven. Toys are categorized into three rooms, American toys, Japanese toys and typical Indonesian toys. There are also typical Indonesian comics.
Another thing is that the shop owner was once a fan club start war in 1985. Also displayed in this place. The toys here have been around since 1980. Initially, the shop owner was only interested in toys. However, his collection grew and in 2010 he thought about opening a museum.
Entering the museum, I really felt nostalgic. I don't remember what toys there were. I used to just buy them, then I watched television, then I understood the characters in the toys. The interesting thing in this museum, I played dingdong. a kind of video game, played by two people.
This game used coins. I spent a lot playing the toy. The shopkeeper said, only adults come. Most visitors come on weekends, and bring their children. While introducing the toys available.
The challenge of today's toys, fighting with modernization. cellphones, many children are more interested in cellphones than in physical toys. But, I like it a little, and regret it at the same time. In the past, the toys I had were just thrown away. Even when I was an adult, I was not allowed to buy them anymore.
That's all I can tell you about my museum visit this time. What do you think? Is this a place of nostalgia? For me yes, it reminds me of my childhood toys. See you in the next story.

An amazing place for toy lovers specially for those who are Marvel fans once I used to be a fan of superheroes.I think children would love to visit but I have a question like I know it is a museum but is there anything for sale like do they sell anything.
from the information I got, a number of adults who came did bring children, only my child was not too happy in this museum. for the items for sale, they are at the front. maybe the entrance to the museum is a toy shop. for the items in the museum are not for sale
