The Toy Museum!

Yesterday we stopped by Museo La Esquina - the Toy Museum! I thought it would be a quick visit, but it was surprisingly large, with four floors featuring more than a thousand vintage pieces of folk art that also happen to be toys! It's such a wonderful place, so sweet and charming. There's even a roof top deck with some pretty spectacular views of the city.

A really beautiful version of Snakes and Ladders, which happens to be one one Chloe's current favorite games...


The museum is bathed in such beautiful natural light...
They created such clever ways to use elements of the old house to showcase vintage toys - like this dollhouse in a former fireplace.
They even honored Lucha Libre, which I liken more to Cirque du Soleil rather than wrestling...
There was a video available showing how the more kinetic pieces...
