More than four thousand toys are displayed here, presenting the history of the toy in Türkiye and in the world. The collection belongs to Yiğit Kiremitçi, a software developer living in Bursa.
Among the toys in it are those of Müstecap Baybörü, Abdürrahim Alasya and Jüliet Altın, among the first toy makers in Türkiye; toys of the Ne-Kur brand registered by Nevzat Kurt in 1947; Fatoş toys; dolls made in Europe and America at the beginning of the twentieth century; wooden dolls' houses; and mechanical tin toys.
The museum has three floors. The entrance floor holds the hall showing historic toys produced by toy firms in Türkiye and elsewhere; the second floor has a space room, a doll room and the collection of Turkish-made toys; the top floor is designed as a workshop floor and an attic playhouse.
There is also a display area in the museum showing a grocer's shop of the 1980s and 1990s with the goods it sold.
