Museum of Childhood

The Museum of Childhood, opened in 1955, was the dream of a local councillor, Patrick Murray. It is a unique treasure house dedicated to children and crammed full of memories of childhood past and present and spread over five floors. Many of the galleries display toys and games galore from all around the world, ranging from dolls and teddy bears to train sets and tricycles. In the galleries you can listen to children chanting multiplication tables in the 1930s schoolroom, and watch the street games played by Edinburgh children filmed in 1951. These spectacular exhibitions show how children were brought up, dressed and educated in decades gone by.
