We found a another good place to hang out!!A place that definately suits children as well as us - adults!! Thank you to daddy n mummy of little Ash & Ayd that recommended in thier blog to this place. For those of you that would like to visit this place, the address can be found at the signboard below. We went on 6 June, Sunday! What is so special about this museum, the museum displays mostly the old days's toys and stuffs. The museum is located at the 2-storey shophouse and you may feel disappointed when standing right at the main entrance because the place is not very big but it is really an eyes openner when you once step your foot into it.
It is a shop more than just a museum itself, it is a place that educate, playing & experience with the DIY toys, taking some cool vintage photos in the museum, buying old school goodies or traditional games and explore what our parent play during kampong days. Most display items from 1950s to 1970s.
We love this vintage 'little sheep" so much! Although is vintage but the owner keep a goodsake of it and have it keep clean, polish and shine under the sun light!! Guess it is one of the highlight along the bussorah street!!
Trademark of the Museum, he is just standing right outside the entrance to greet all the visitors. Danzel was just got up from his afternoon nap, he looked daze in the photo still but when we once stepped into the museum, he was back to the reality with his norm activeness!
This is how's the frontage of Museum look like!! The entrance to the Level 1 is free but to explore deeper into the meseum which is Level 2, visitors have to pay S$2 per person to access to 2nd floor.Layang-layang, chapteh, gasing and so on can be seen in the following photo.
Entrance to the 2nd floor with more small little Robotics toys can be found in the glass panel
Oh mine...Antique Phonograph and Horn. The invention of Mr Edison before turning his attention to light bulb. Edison invented the world’s first machine to record and reproduce sound in 1877. He called his invention a Phonograph. The following is one of the patented device after his first invention and now to see it, beside museum, perhaps we still can see it in the shops that selling antiques.

Can you see the price for the Robotic Toys as shown below, it ranges from S$400- s$600 per unit!!!
Kampong days, people used to DIY thier toys from the stuffs that can be easily found around them. For example:- Chapteh were made from nails, pieces of rubbers and feathers which they plucked from the rooster. Unlike the children that grows up in the city nowadays, which can only see the rooster in the zoo.
Any idea of the toys from below? I used to play them before when I was young...haha
