"A colecção, com mais de 40.000 brinquedos diferentes, fará as delícias de filhos, pais e avós. Esta mostra interessante e invulgar é o resultado de uma vida ao serviço da investigação do brinquedo e da sua importância na formação da personalidade humana, que o seu fundador, João Arboés Moreira prosseguiu ao longo de mais de 50 anos.
O Museu inclui uma oficina de restauro de brinquedos onde as crianças podem assistir aos trabalhos de recuperação, moldando assim o gosto pela preservação dos objectos com que gostam de brincar.
Na loja poderá adquirir brinquedos artesanais e até algumas "antiguidades" como soldadinhos de chumbo, com que brincavam os nosso avós, mobílias em madeira e muitas outras peças originais que já não se encontram."

"The collection of more than 40,000 different toys will delight children, parents and grandparents. This interesting and unusual exhibition is the result of a lifetime's research into toys and their importance in developing the human personality, which its founder, João Arboés Moreira, conducted for over 50 years.
The museum has a workshop for restoring toys, where children can watch the work of restoration and thus develop a liking for preserving the objects they enjoy playing with.
In the giftshop you can buy homemade toys, as well as certain "antiques" like the lead soldiers that our grandparents used to play with, wooden furniture and several original items that are no longer to be found."
