Young memories rise up to the surface when we went to the Museum of Childhood. I was amused by the numerous toys, trinkets and baby stuff that are centuries old. It was rough for kids back then because they weren't allowed to smile in public, hair have to be covered and they had to work in coal mines or do chimney sweeps. Kids right now have things easy for them.
I can't help looking back on my own childhood. All of the things I've seen at the museum have been reminiscent of the old English films. The huge doll houses delighted me the most because I remembered just owning a Polly Pocket which is not even half the size of those doll houses. Notice the miniature dolls and their lovely furnitures up close.

Is the museum worth a visit then? I've read about it in the guide books and it does look interesting. That doll's house looks so cute!
I am so tempted to go find a new Polly Pocket now and loved that as a kid as well. I didn't even know of this museum, would love to visit someday.

I love the Museum of Childhood, we used to go all the time when I was a kid and the doll's houses were always my favourite too. I've been meaning to go back since I moved back to Edinburgh and you've inspired me to go soon. You have to tell your friends though that it's in SCOTLAND!
Those photos are so beautiful... you're so lucky! When do you start work? Can't wait to hear about your new job ;)
ahhhh reminds me of my childhood. love it!
