Building toy exhibition at Radstock Museum

Radstock Museum has a new temporary exhibition for spring called “Buildings in a Box: the miniature world of architectural construction toys.” Open from 1st February to 14th May 2023.

The exhibition draws from the personal collection of the curator and shows the wonderfully wide range of architectural building toys that have been produced across the world from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. From simple wooden nursery blocks, through complicated constructions of metal to the familiar interlocking plastic bricks of today, toymakers have given children the chance to build houses, castles, log cabins, railway stations and so much more.

We are open in the afternoons Tuesday through to Sunday from 2pm until 5pm and on Saturdays we are open 11am until 5pm. Our tearoom and bookshop are also open and temporary exhibitions are included in the museum entrance ticket.
