National Ukrainian Toy Exhibition

If you have a teddy bear, a wooden horse, a puppet, a tin toy soldier, a Jack-in-the-box or a favourite doll among your friends, the National Ukrainian Toy Exhibition is for you. It displays all kinds of toys - from ancient ones to brand new ones. In the first hall you can find toys made of natural materials - straw, wood and clay. They are easy to make and safe to play with. The oldest and the most valuable objects in our collection are whistles made of clay.

In the second hall you can see various dolls. Notice the soft ones called motanka. The tradition of making such dolls dates back to 3000 B.C., when Ukrainians started growing flax. Women made the dolls soft inside, with wool and flax threads around them. The next generation of dolls was the rag doll made of brightly-coloured cloth. There are also modern dolls - female and male - dressed accordingly. Their clothes are exact replicas of Ukrainian national costumes with embroidered shirts, necklaces with coral beads, red or black high boots and so on.

Each exhibit has a charm of its own. It can entertain you and your family, and remind you of the toys you played with as a child.
