Small museum founded in 1999 from research by schoolchildren and grandparents, with slingshots, spinning tops and wooden instruments from old games.

This museum was born in August 1999 from a wonderful idea: some teachers led their pupils to discover the games of the past, with the help of their grandparents. The children searched for, collected and in some cases rebuilt the toys with which past generations had fun. We love this bridge between young and old.In the rooms you'll find slingshots, strummoli, the traditional spinning tops, and various wooden musical instruments. Each piece is catalogued with its material, the way it was made and how it was used. We recommend visiting with children: it's a fun way to discover the memory of Cilento.
