Explore your inner child....

The Toy and Miniature Museum of Kansas City is the embodiment of childhood fantasies for children of all ages. The collection includes antiques, toys and fine scale miniatures that amaze and delight the young at heart. 19th and 20th century toys allow visitors to explore the evolution of childhood through form, function and production.  Dolls, dollhouses, trains, cars and more than one million marbles serve as touchstones to connect generations.

Fine scale miniatures provide an escape into the gilded Palace of Versailles or the simpler American Plains Indian teepee.  Perfect in scale, miniatures are working reproductions of actual pieces.  Created by highly skilled artists, these pieces tell a rich story of historical research and unparalleled craftsmanship.
