While we were waiting for opening hour of Musjid Sultan, we visited this little museum. Museum was on second floor (small admission fee). It looked like owner's collection, and although it was very small space, we enjoyed fine. We could see old toys, books, posters, etc. I even saw what looked like owner's grade report. Very personal view of Singapore's early 20 century.

We stayed there around 30 min, and had a really good time. Don't expect whole museum experience, but certainly a nice stop after/before Musjid Sultan.

didnt know about this place, and didnt know that its already closed. Met the owner when i was walking along the streets near the mosque, he invited me over to take pictures of the two museums (theres another museum next door). Both very small with second storeys. I was quite taken aback becos theres many physical contacts when asking me to pose and helping me to adjust my clothes. Of course he did not touch me inappropriately. however i take it as he was being super friendly and enthusiastic, he helped me to take alot of pics using my phone. Anyway if he had something up to his sleeves I could have just report him to the police since the museums cant run away lol. He showed me alot of pictures and postcards sent by his visitors to thank him. He also said that he's a photographer.
More on the museum, i think there's nothing much, but worth for some quick photo taking! Very nice backgrounds. you can even ask to wear the traditional peranakan costume.

Went there with my wife and 2 friends. Just because i was using a big camera, they claimed i was there on a professional wedding shoot. My friends are students! They're too young to get married. A rude person there simply chased us away and demanded we leave. he even continued to stare us down outside the museum. What a waste of the entrance fee..We didn't even get to see anything. He didn't even bother to listen to our explanation that we weren't there for a wedding shoot. And to think, i only went there because my wife visited before and wanted me to see it for myself..guess i will never be able to now..

I was there with a couple of friends checking out some of the nostalgic games on display and I was seriously considering purchasing some of the toys on display outside.

The owner, I have to say, is really two-faced. He would offer to take photos for tourists who were outside the shop (but not checking out the store), in hopes of luring them into the museum. But when my friend asked nicely to take a photo for us, he rudely turned us down and walked away, saying he's not free. As I have seen in previous reviews, the owner is not a nice person, he only cares about his business. It's true he does have some really neat toys in the store. But his ugly personality is honestly rather repulsive (how can someone so awful be the face of a little children museum?)

The museum offers an interesting glimpse into the 1960s and 1970s with many personal collections from the owner. It brings back a great sense of nostalgia, especially for Singaporeans who will find many familiar toys like kuti-kuti and marbles. And it only cost $2 per entry.
The owner is welcoming and approachable so do chat him up. He was a professional photographer before retiring 10 years ago (so you see a fair bit of vintage camera equipment on display). He has amassed a large collection that has also been neatly organised into sections for viewing.

We randomly walked around after finding the mural near aliwal art centre. The owner greeted us enthusiastically and asked us to come in for more phototaking. So we did. He was very enthusiastic and asking us to take photo and suggested us to pose in different ways. He helped us to take photos. Sometimes a bit too enthusiastic. We were taken back a bit as normally there wouldnt be much physical contact if you see the people for the first time. However we interpret it as he was simply very enthusiastic in showing us what this place has to offer. He also showed us a lot of postcards and photos that some of the previous visitors had sent him after their visits. After seeing the ground floor of his shop he offered us to see the second floor of the cafe next door. It turns out that there were more of his toys collections and if i was older i bet it must bring back heaps of childhood memories. Anyways, he was a bit too enthusiastic and our phone's battery was always used up from phototaking. So we thanked the owner and said bye. We promised to write a review and here we go.
A hidden gem i must say.
If you do not mind talking to a super enthusiastic and maybe will have a bit of physical contact when posing,then this place a worth a quick stop by.

I was in the area during my short venture around Kampong Glam and saw this place. I won't say that I'm old enough to actually experience all the classic games and toys of Singapore, but the signage outside drew me in. Initially, the owner invited to us to take a look at the main gallery upstairs for S$2. It was a good deal, so we went in, and there were already a few kids there with their parents. The kids were really enjoying themselves with the toys, which was really warming to see. The area was really small, mostly unmaintained, but otherwise presents almost everything you want to see about what kids did in the past. The owner's demeanor changed a lot when we were leaving, giving a curt nod when we left. He was also muttering angrily about the kids upstairs playing with the bell too much.

Probably the owner is a garung guni (i.e. junk) man, otherwise how does one explain the wide variety of items (ranging from food, drinks, toys, furniture to stationery) found? Some retro toys are available for sale too. One probably need to be 30 years and above to appreciate the items on display.

A wonderful overview of decades past, with plenty of toys and stuff kids might have played with or looked at longingly. It's very close to the mosque, and is on the second floor - look for the long black sign to help find the right building.
