The Museum of ChildhoodThere are 4,000 toys in London’s Museum of Childhood, but it’s not (1)essential to be a child to enjoy it.Most of the older toys were (2)meant to be played with by adults.All the toys (3)live in a beautiful glass-topped building in the East End of London – but it wasn’t built for them. It was opened in 1872 and displayed art, shoe-making and furniture (4)collections. It wasn’t until 1974, when the children’s section had (5)grown enormously, that the (6)whole building was officially devoted to the history of chilhood. Once upon a time every toy was home-made, although by the late 1700s a huge toy industry had (7)developed. Many home-made toys were made of metal and wood and a few of these have (8)lasted well enough for the museum to display. It even has one of the oldest dolls’houses still (9)in existence , made in 1673. There’s something for everyone, including the 18th century toy theatre and the miniature Chinese gardens, (10)containing tiny animals. Whichever is your favorite, each exhibit enables you to catch a (11)glimpse of the people and world it was made for.
