About Anadolu Oyuncak Müzesi

Anadolu Oyuncak Müzesi (Anatolian Toy Museum) is a toy museum run by Kepez Municipality in DokumaPark, the former Antalya cotton spinning and weaving factory. It opened in 2017 in a building that had served as the factory creche. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism lists it among the private museums under its supervision, attached to Kepez Municipality. According to the municipality, about 13 thousand 800 toys are shown in 15 halls, each with its own theme, including a school classroom, a fairy-tale room, a street of tradesmen, a Kaleiçi street, cars and dolls. The lower floor holds a library and a toy art workshop where children and adults can design their own toys. The museum opens onto a garden with century-old olive trees, landscaped planting and statues of cartoon characters. The Ministry of National Education out-of-school learning profile lists it as open Tuesday to Sunday from 09:00 to 18:00 and closed on Mondays.
