Guided Story
Imagine holding a toy car in your hand, one that's older than your grandfather. That's the kind of treasure you'll find here in the Toy Museum in Trier. Look up, the elegant chandeliers add a touch of grandeur to the historic 'Steipe', this museum's charming home. Did you know it was once the largest privately run toy museum in Germany? The collection started with Rolf and Heidi Scheurich, whose passion for toys and dolls is woven into every exhibit. Turn around and let the vibrant colors and shapes of the displays wash over you – it's almost as if they're coming to life. And don't miss the spires of St. Gangolf Church behind you as you delve into the past of these toys. Each of these pieces holds stories that have lasted for generations.
