The wonder-seekers at Curious Expeditions visited the Toy Museum (Muzeum hraček) in Prague, Czech Republic. They posted a delightful Flickr set of photos from their trip, including the picture above depicting a tiny wooden butcher shop. Prague Toy Museum (Flickr)

    Neat. I’m going to the Czech YoYo Nationals in November, I’ll have to check this out while I’m there. It looks similar to the toy collection at the House On the Rock’s bizarre automaton collection.

    For those in the states looking to get some serious toy action, I highly recommend the Kansas City Toy and Miniature Museum. I just went for the first time last week and it’s insane and unbelievable.

    Very cool. I wish butcher shops still existed in the US.

  • David Pescovitz

    Doc Pop! I’ve never been to House on the Rock, but that sounds good. The photos also have a bit of that Musée Mécanique feel.
