Museum of Toys and Automata

The Museum of Toys and Automata (in Catalan language Museu de Joguets i Autòmats) was a museum of toys and automata located in Verdú, in central Catalonia, Spain.

[1] The museum was founded by local man Manel Mayoral, who had built up an extensive collection of antique toys and novelties.

[2] Cal Jan was built in the 15th century, as were all the other buildings on the same street, and became an important house of Verdú.

In fact, there is an inscription on the façade dating from 1695, which is the year the house was reconstructed.

In 1999, the building's conversion to a museum was started, and it was extended and extensively remodelled.
