An amazing museum in Valencia

 Saturday night brought another meeting of the Virtual Wargames Club and what a meeting it was! As well as the usual catch up and sharing of projects last night we were shown photos from a trip to a Toy Soldier Museum in Valencia, Spain. The amount, range and quality of the figures was almost unbelievable. Tens of thousands of figures on display, most in 54mm as well as vast dioramas in smaller scales. Here is a link to the museum and to a fascinating article about it-

The museum has unusual opening hours so well worth checking prior to planning a trip. I enjoyed the reference to outdoor gaming in the article. What a place , what a collection!

    I went there some years ago, and wrote about it on my blog.
