The Historical Toy Museum Freinsheim in Freinsheim is a private collection of old toys .

exhibition

The exhibits date from the time of the industrial revolution around 1890 to the Second World War. The focus is on products from Bing Werke Nuremberg . Marion Groll is the director of the Bing Museum. Uwe Groll's collection was the basis for the private museum that opened on April 2, 2011. This collection was originally focused on 0-gauge railroads and accessories from Bing.
