Review:
Spielzeug Welten Museum Basel, or the Toy Worlds Museum of Basel, is Europe's largest museum dedicated to the history and preservation of children's toys, sponsored by Gisela Oeri, the president of Basel's local football club. The museum is located at Barfüsserplatz within the city's historic town center and displays more than 6,000 children's toy artifacts, including plush toys, dolls, miniatures, and dollhouses and other play shops. It is most noted for its collection of over 2,500 historic teddy bears, the largest collection of its kind in the world. Special exhibitions of toys are offered on an ongoing basis, with all toys arranged in playtime-themed vignettes. A museum restaurant, Ristorante la Sosta, offers seasonal dishes, while a museum gift store sells a wide variety of toy-related gifts and memorabilia.
