Saint Petersburg Toy Museum (Russian: Санкт-Петербу́ргский музе́й игру́шки) is a non-state cultural establishment.
The Saint-Petersburg Toy Museum was established as an artistic museum with the main task of collecting, storing, exposing and studying toys not only as a unique item of material culture, but also as a unique art form, that includes ancient national traditions and the most recent artistic tendencies.
The toy as an art form, existing as both a functional play-thing and an aesthetic object, inspired the collection.
Having united artists, art critics and pedagogues around it, the Saint-Petersburg Museum takes part in working out interesting exhibition programs and artistic festivals, orientated on a broad age diapason of participators and visitors.
The Museum is not aimed purely at children, and works with other institutions to teach educational programmes.
