Toy history at Los Juguetes de mi Tierra
The Los Juguetes de mi Tierra Museum was founded to show younger generations how their parents and grandparents played before modern technology, and to remind older visitors of their childhood. Its purpose brings together passing on traditions and remembrance: younger visitors encounter the ways earlier generations played, while older visitors are reminded of their own childhood experiences. If you’re interested in perspectives across generations, this theme offers a distinctive way to discover Nobsa.
A 2022 account describes a workshop visit: visitors can enter the workshop where artisans from the community make toys; some are available to buy. Check current access and purchasing options before your visit.
