Op Stelten: toys and carnival

Speelgoed- & Carnavalsmuseum Op Stelten in Oosterhout presents toys in various themed rooms and a separate carnival room. Construction toys, doll’s houses and projected images offer different ways of looking at play.

Plan your visit ↗

Building and inventing

Anker building blocks and Meccano offer a way into construction toys. See which shapes and possibilities the presentation shows, without assuming that every item on display may be played with.

Putting on a show

Magic lanterns and other items relating to projection shift the focus to image and story. The explanations can help you understand how a viewing experience was organised.

Carnival as a local subject

The carnival room covers Oosterhout. Keep that local context in mind, so that the presentation becomes more than a collection of recognisable festive objects.

Before you go

Preferably book a time slot and check opening on public holidays. The museum is all on one level; groups and guided tours arrange their visit in advance.
