Antique children's toys from different museums in Türkiye have been brought together in a temporary exhibition at the Ankara Ethnography Museum. Toys made of baked clay and wood, found in the collections of museums such as Troya in Canakkale, and museums in Bursa, Mardin, and Kocaeli, present examples of children's play habits from ancient times.
The exhibition includes many artifacts, such as a toy car made of baked clay dating back to 4000 or 3000 BC, which is among the world's first toy cars, puppets that formed the first prototypes of today's puppets, the first whistles, game boards, various animal figurines and warrior soldier figurines.
