All collections

The Tornese stables are still home to horses. The old Al Portichetto horse farm have been transformed into the stables of dreams and champion trotters have made way to toy horses. When a toy horse joins the Museum collection, it becomes a precious item cherished with care for the joy and wonder of both the young and old.

The Museum collection has more than 650 toy horses made from the eighteenth century to present in the most diverse forms: rockers, tricycles, chairs, walkers, and even gigs and merry-go-round horses.

The Museum also features forty-one silkscreened tin spring toys manufactured by the historical Lehmann factory in Nuremberg between the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century. Toys that tell children about the world of grown-ups.

Visitors are accompanied during this journey into the magic of childhood by the music of Goffredo Colombani’s musical boxes and the paintings of an imaginary fantasy stable created by Wanda Broggi in 2003.
