I was passing through Vitebsk with my son and I am very glad that we decided to definitely visit this museum. Visiting the museum brought a lot of positive emotions =) The wonderful owner told a lot of interesting things: not only about the toys themselves, but also their stories. I was immersed in pleasant nostalgia, and my son "touched" his parents' childhood. Thank you very much for the emotions presented, we will be in Vitebsk - we will certainly look again. I advise you to visit without fail, no one will remain indifferent =)
An hour and a half of the tour flew by unnoticed. Immersion in the world of childhood. The tour is conducted by the founder of the museum in an interactive form. Some exhibits can be applied and tried on. Communication is relaxed and intelligent.
The studio of the Soviet Toy in Vitebsk.
An unusual location that I advise everyone to visit.
This is an amazing place for big, adult and small children.
The big boys will touch and look at the iron horses with interest.
Well, big girls will gladly remember their childhood and play with toys from the past.
We were lucky, there were no visitors and we were happy to talk
with the founder of the studio, Vladimir Gordeev.
This enthusiastic person infects with his positivity and emotions and can talk for hours about the exhibits.
In his company, time flies by unnoticed and this is not surprising.
After all, thanks to the exhibits, you plunge into childhood, adolescence and youth.
We wish Vladimir and Svetlana Gordeev prosperity and an endless stream of visitors!
Well, we advise everyone else not to miss this place when visiting Vitebsk!
We visited the museum today and were very impressed.There are many interesting exhibits and an amazing, truly unique atmosphere of the Soviet Union! Thank you very much.
We were here on 12/24/2023 with the whole family. The museum is very "lamp-like" and soulful. A wonderful owner, he is also a tour guide, as well as a man in love with his business. Our visit turned out to be just perfect - we were the only visitors on this frosty, snowy, winter day and were able to see EVERYTHING. We advise visitors of Vitebsk not to waste time on Marc Chagall, but rather to get here.
Almost by chance, a couple of days ago we visited the Soviet toy studio with a friend and were very impressed! This is an incredibly interesting place that is worth visiting for anyone who wants to learn more about our past or nostalgic for childhood) The owner of the studio is a very pleasant person, he literally gave us an individual fascinating tour of all the exhibits, since at that time we found ourselves alone in the studio
Many thanks to Vladimir for the emotions presented that day!!!
A great museum. There are many such museums and in each of them there are a lot of things that carry memories or nostalgia from the past, but after all, each thing has its own story and it is much more interesting than a trinket on a shelf, thanks to the guide and collectively the creator of this museum, everything is much more interesting here, he tells where it came from and what fate befell these things. If you come to Vitebsk, I recommend you to watch it.

A great place, exceeded all our expectations. I highly recommend it. The creator of the studio talks very fascinatingly about all the exhibits, shares stories of toys from the past. We were very pleased with this place.
They blew on the trumpet, tapped on the drum, played games on "snaps"), painted and rode a little, answered quiz questions. We had a great time!
Great place! We plunged into childhood. We remembered about the long-forgotten toys that we used to play with. Everything can be touched. I definitely recommend to visit!!!
I liked the museum very much, the guided tour plunged adults into a distant Soviet childhood, and teenagers were surprised by the variety of Soviet toys and the ingenuity of their designers. Thank you very much, it was warm and sincere!
It is very interesting not only for adults, but also to explain to children some things (toys). Especially when the tour is conducted by the founder of this museum. Thanks for the memories. It just seems to me that there is not enough advertising from the road, we got a little lost while looking for such an interesting museum.
A wonderful museum, everyone came out in a great mood. It says "we come from childhood", so the exhibits of the Museum aroused great interest, both among adults and young visitors. Vladimir Nikolaevich lovingly told about each product, it is very interesting. There are unique specimens that pleasantly surprised everyone. You can hold things in your hands, but they are still warm from the hands of Soviet children. The girl drew, played the bugle and knocked on the pioneer drum, and finally rode on a pedal ATV. And for fans of mopeds, there is plenty of space. We will advise everyone to come in, just plan more time, do not break up quickly. Thank you for your enthusiasm and kind attitude
The museum is a collection of toys that people bring, which means with a soul and a story! This is very cool! Some "oh, I have/ was!!!", and some "wow, this is the first time I've seen" - and these emotions are the coolest thing in the museum! The children enjoyed playing with the toys of my childhood (and my parents' childhood). We wish Vladimir prosperity and that his dream of expanding the museum and that his children continue his work come true!
I was expecting just nostalgia, but the organizers managed to surprise me repeatedly. There are a lot of exhibits that are new to me, you can hear a lot of interesting things about each of them. There are exhibits available for interactive, which we used and played with. I definitely recommend it.
Where childhood goes, to which cities... It turned out that this city of Vitebsk and the means to get back to childhood is very simple - to visit the Vitebsk museum of Soviet toys, talk to its creator, listen to the stories of things and people, and most importantly remember "your own", walk around and shout - oh, and I know what it is! And I had this!
Thank you very much to Vladimir for having such a corner of joy and memories.
A gorgeous private collection of Soviet toys. We were very glad to visit such a museum! A lot of positive emotions, a huge number of exhibits. This museum completely refutes the modern opinion that the children of the Soviet Union had nothing to play with... By the way, for the record, the museum's fund is replenished, including with artifacts of visitors!
We visited the museum and were very pleasantly impressed) There are many interesting exhibits and an amazing, truly unique atmosphere of the Soviet Union! Thank you very much!
A great museum, plunged into Soviet childhood, it was nice to see all this. The children were also interested. A large and interesting collection. I wish the owner of the museum strength and replenishment of the collection. Thank you for returning to childhood.
We left the museum with the most pleasant feelings! We definitely advise you to visit) It will be interesting for both children and adults. Special thanks for the interesting tour and interactive!
There are a lot of interesting and unusual things, this place will not make you bored, but will immerse you in the atmosphere of memories of the Soviet era. An excellent guide, you can see right away, a professional in his field, I liked everything so much that if there were more stars, I would put a million)). I advise everyone to visit!!!
A very interesting Exhibition, there are unique toys. You can hear unique stories on the tour. Older people can get nostalgic. I recommend you to visit.
A wonderful place! The children were delighted!! I recommend visiting and definitely with children! Everything can be touched! Children are stuck on some toys))
The museum is simply incredible! It plunges you into childhood! You can spend more than one hour there, listening to interesting stories about toys, their stories and the stories of their owners! I advise everyone to visit and allocate at least 1-1.5 to touch, watch and play everything!
This lamp museum is located next to the moped Museum. This is a return to a time when the trees were big and the sandbox games gathered the whole yard. Every now and then you come across toys that you either had or those that you dreamed of. Many thanks to Vladimir Gordeev's wife for the trip to childhood!
It takes you back to the old days, the museum is not big but very pleasant. Be sure to visit this soulful museum in Vitebsk👍🤘And there is also a museum of Soviet-era mopeds, there are rare specimens.
The quality and originality of the execution of toys, many of which have been very surprising for at least half a century. It is not recommended for people with intolerance to acute feelings of nostalgia. Everyone else is required to visit.
The studio's exposition has teamed up with the Moped Museum, so everything that has been said about it applies to toys. It's doubly interesting this way!
A sweet place, toys evoke memories of childhood and the warmth and carelessness associated with it. I highly recommend visiting!!!
It should be useful for modern children that they could not play with a phone :)
