Antalya Toy Museum

This guide traces how the poet Sunay Akin's private obsession with antique toys became the Antalya Toy Museum, housed in a restored harbourside building in Kaleici. You'll hear why he chose to open it on Turkey's Children's Day, and meet the tin soldiers, Anatolian wooden dolls, and pop-culture icons spanning the 1860s to the 1990s. It's a museum built by a poet, and it carries a simple question through every shelf: what should childhood look like?
