With the Singapore Toys, Games and Comics Convention coming up round the corner, Mark, the brains behind GeekMatic! pays a timely visit to the toy museum situated in the heart of Singapore – the MINT Museum of Toys.

Mark writes:

This was on a regular day when I went and it was indeed a surreal experience seeing exquisitely displayed a world class collection of over 50,000 pieces of vintage toys and childhood memorabilia dating back from the mid-19th century to mid-twentieth century and thematically exhibited over four levels and namely Outerspace (Level 5); Characters (Level 4); Childhood Favourites (Level 3) and Collectibles (Level 2). They have a lift that will take you to Level 5, where there’s a phrase “Whoever has the most toys when he dies wins.” in the wall.

Check out Mark’s visit here. The MINT Museum of Toys is located at Seah Street, just behind the Raffles Hotel and a hop, skip and jump away from the Suntec Convention and Exhibition Centre, where this year’s STGCC is going to be held this weekend. Make it a stop to the museum part of your weekend plans!
