MINT may be a Museum of Toys, but it's really designed for nostalgic parents rather than kids – in fact, MINT (emint.com; adult/child S$30/20) actually stands for Moment of Imagination and Nostalgia with Toys. Founded by toy collector Chang Yang Fa in 2007, this four-story building houses his personal collection of more than 50,000 items (around 8000 of which are on display). The toys hail from 40 countries and date as far back as the 1840s; they run the gamut from rare Flash Gordon comics to original Mickey Mouse dolls. Beyond the toys, the permanent collection includes two galleries devoted to vintage enamel signs.
Consider paying a little extra for the "Around the World in 60 Minutes" guided tour to get more context to the displays. There's also a small gift shop selling replica tin toys and old-school games. The museum is closed on Mondays.
