Museum of Shanghai Toys (MoST)

I was at the Museum of Shanghai Toys (MoST) yesterday afternoon.
This Museum resides at 83 Rowell Road.
A 3-storey shop house that houses many old chinese collectibles toys.
Ranging from 1910s - 1970s.
I am very impressed with the interior design and display of the toys.
They utilised every corner of the shophouse and magically turns it into a very nice place.
The 1st storey is the Museum shop that sells many toys and replicas of old tin toys.
2nd storey contains the largest display of Mr Marvin Chan(Director/Collector)years of collections.
My favourite has to be a Room in the 3rd storey.
Makes one feel likes walking back into time.
Very retro feeling and genuine!
It was an entire different feeling.
Feeling like I've walked into my previous old home.
In fact, during my childhood, I was just living about 2 streets down at Pasar Lane.
It was torn down in the early 1990s.
Ok, back to this museum, some of the toys are display on shelfs, not locked inside a glass cabinets, so one could actually touch some of these toys, which I think it good and makes the visit real!
Another thing worth mentioning is the passport book (12 pages) from the Museum.
Get one at the 1st storey ticketing counter at S$1.50.
You'll get to do some stamping work but first you gotta search for the correct stamp chop! It's fun!!!
The photo belows shows the passport book. That's my little book I've stamped. Hee Hee!

This is the 3rd storey room!!! Must visit! The cabinets also displays lots of tin robots.

This is the first time I see this type of milk bottle. Funny shaped!

My visit was a pleasant one and I highly recommend people with an interest in nostalgia's collectibles to visit too!
The people there are very friendly and willing to share the history of toys with visitors.
I also brought a blue tin robot, my very first replica tin robot!
Aha...I am so attracted to Robots!!!
