mint Meseum of Toys

If you mention the word mint, I'll probably think of peppermint or Singapore Mint. No no... it's neither the two. This "mint" place which I went today is the meseum of toys!

So what does mint mean in this case?

It actually stands for 'memories of imaginative & nolstalgic toys' (if I didn't remember wrongly!) The place consists of 5 floors plus a cafe at the basement. The exhibits (toys) were spread over the 4 levels, with each level having a different theme. Some of the toys which we managed to catch a glimpse of include tin tin, felix the cat, popeye, mickey mouse, betty boop, a collection of snow white & the seven dwarfs. Haha... it's such an interesting place! Many of these toys I've not even seen them before when I was young. The toys in the meseum will be rotated every few months, so you'll be amazed by the wide collection of toys the owner has.

Another interesting point about this toy meseum is that the lightings on the display shelves were done in such a way that they will not cast any shadow of the toy. So it definitely helps when it comes to phototaking. No matter which angle you take from, the picture will look good. But one important thing to note when photographing here is that no flash is allowed. This is to prevent the flashlight from degrading the colour of the precious toys.

Something interesting was mentioned during the guided tour. Look at the pic below. How is this snow white different from the usual one??

Think hard!!! Think think think!!

The answer is that the "real" one has black hair! Got it right??

Well, so why is there a blond hair snow white in the meseum? Haha...that's for you to go & find out! The admission cost $10 for adult and $5 for children (aged 2 - 12 years old).

The pic above is one of my favourite pic. Or I should say one of the cutest pose of the seven dwarfs I've seen at the meseum. It so resemble someone!!! Hee hee....
