The Toy Museum (French: Musée du jouet; Dutch: Speelgoedmuseum) is a museum of toys and games in Brussels, Belgium. It was opened on 14 November 1990. The core collection was amassed by a family of amateur toy enthusiasts and has grown through donations by the public as well as purchases.
The museum is housed in a former mansion with 1,000 m2 (11,000 sq ft) of exhibition space on three floors, located at 24, rue de l'Association/Verenigingstraat, in the City of Brussels. It is home to over 25,000 historic toys and games, mostly from the 1950s to the 1980s, with the oldest dating back to 1830. It is owned and operated by André Raemdonck.
