A unique toy and Christmas idyll awaits the visitor in the exhibition that has been opened in 1936 and is world-famous today. The exhibition of 5,000 objects in the museum's collection provides an opportunity to explore these connections through texts, photographs, and graphic overviews. It is an exhibit of the social, technical, and economic history of the middle range of the Erzgebirge mountains, as well as a museum of folklore and folk art. The toys themselves - the skittles, musical toys, carousels, farms, Noah's arks, building sets, doll rooms, horses and wagons - speak their own language. But they also speak of the centuries-old unbroken promise of creativity, of the wishes and dreams of the miners, farmers and toymakers, of a landscape that is both harsh and charming, and of a people and their still living traditions.
