Historia
The Museum of Traditional Mexican Toys was founded on November 6, 1998, with the aim of preserving and promoting traditional Mexican toys, which are considered an important part of the country’s cultural heritage. From its inception, the museum emerged as a community project dedicated to rescuing artisanal techniques and the memories of generations who grew up playing with handmade toys.
Originalmente, el museo se encontraba en el tradicional Barrio de San Marcos, en una antigua finca adaptada para exhibir su colección. Con el paso del tiempo, el recinto se trasladó a la calle Nieto, en el centro histórico de Aguascalientes, donde continúa funcionando actualmente. El espacio alberga más de mil juguetes elaborados con materiales como madera, cartón, lámina, barro, tela y fibras naturales, representando la diversidad cultural de distintas regiones de México.
Over the years, the museum has strengthened its cultural mission through workshops, guided tours, and educational activities focused on keeping Mexican folk toy traditions alive. Its three permanent galleries offer insight into the evolution of these traditional toys and showcase the work of artisans who continue to create unique pieces using traditional methods. Today, the museum is considered one of Aguascalientes’ most significant cultural venues dedicated to preserving childhood and Mexican identity.
