🖼 Bartram Toy Museum

Сергиев Посад, пр-т Красной Армии, 123

A museum founded by the artist Nikolai Bartram in 1918: tens of thousands of toys from Russia and other countries.

The museum was officially founded on 17 October 1918 in Moscow, on Smolensky Boulevard, and received visitors in 1921.
In the 1920s only the Tretyakov Gallery had more visitors.
In the winter of 1926/27 the philosopher Walter Benjamin visited the museum.
In 1931, after Bartram's death, the museum was moved to Zagorsk, now Sergiev Posad.
Since 1980 the museum has occupied the building of the former commercial school above Kelarsky Pond.
The collection of children's portraits includes works by Tropinin, Bogdanov-Belsky and Ferdinand Bol.
