Collector
The exhibits in the toy museum come from two Berlin collectors. The initiator of the toy museum was Hans-Jürgen Thiedig. It is thanks to him that his collection, which he has assembled over four decades, has been made accessible to the public. Claus-Peter Jörger also collects and trades in antique toys . A selection of his high-quality exhibits has already been shown in the National Museum in Szczecin .
