Museo Juguete Antiguo – Antique Toy Museum

Roberto Shimizu’s family has been importing toys into Mexico since 1938. Since he was a boy, Roberto has hoarded examples of these toys and now has one of the world’s most bizarre museums to show them; five floors of displays in a former warehouse and office where the toys are collected and displayed in old industrial machinery and pharmacy shelves that he has designed and created personally.

There are over 40,000 objects and a rotating collection of murals on the roof terrace that defy any attempt to understand the curation and without any explanation from Shimizu-san.

Why does he have Lucha Libre figures stuffed into tacos and tortas like shrimps in a sauce? We have no idea and he just shrugged when asked.
