The Toy Museum of Catalonia takes visitors on a journey through the history of the toy industry in Catalonia (Spain). Toys from childhood and from generations ago: puppet theaters, cardboard horses, toy kitchens, balls, dolls, spinning tops, tin toys with rope, planes, cars, trains, tricycles, building sets, teddy bears, the game of the goose, circuses, puppets, robots, and many other much loved companions from the exciting and imaginative moments of childhood play.

The Museum was opened in 1982, and from a collection of more than 15,000 toys and games there are some 4000 exhibits on display, some of which belonged to people like Joan Brossa, Quim Monzó, Ernest Lluch, Salvador Puig Antich, Terenci Moix, and more. There is also an exhibition dedicated to the first twenty years of Salvador Dalí's life, featuring his toys, postcards, and photographs from his family album. The exhibition is accompanied by music by Pascal Comelade and Erik Satie.

The Toy Museum of Catalonia was created from the personal collection of Josep Maria Joan Rosa and Pilar Casademont Sadurní. It is the fruit of the creative passion and effort of two people over the course of more than twenty-two years.
