This museum is a place that brings visitors back to their childhood with a collection of classic toys from the 1980s. This museum is a new attraction that evokes sweet memories for anyone who visits.
Reported from the Bandung City Disbudpar website, the 198x Toy Museum began with the love of its founder, Aldo Ikhwanul Khalid, for classic toys.
Initially, his personal collection only filled two small display cases. However, this hobby grew rapidly until 1999, when Aldo founded the first collector's toy store in Bandung, called Zero Toys. In 2005, this collection was finally transformed into the 198x Toy Museum, as a tribute to toys from the 1980s.
The name "198x" is taken from the range of years of production of the collection in this museum, which covers the period 1980 to 1989. This place offers a journey into the past. At that time, toys were not only entertainment but also a reflection of the culture and technology of the time.
To date, the 198x Toy Museum has collected more than 3,000 types of toys from various parts of the world. From American to Japanese toys, each collection tells a unique story about childhood in various places.
In particular, Japanese toys are a favorite, thanks to the huge influence of Japanese robot movies that were very popular at that time. These toys are neatly displayed, creating an impressive visual experience for visitors.
The 198x Toy Museum has become a favorite place for collectors and toy enthusiasts from various circles. To enter, visitors simply buy exclusive merchandise that serves as a ticket.
