The Museum of Traditional Toys of Sardinia<\/strong> is located in the hamlet of Zeppara<\/strong>, in the municipality of Ales. The museum venue was created by the recovery of the unused space of the former nursery and elementary school. The buildings, adjacent to each other, were connected by a new central body that gave rise to the current single structure, which opened in December 2002<\/strong>. <\/p>

The museum’s collection broadly and significantly represents the traditional play heritage of the entire island. The toys on display are the result of extensive ethnographic research, conducted in the various municipalities of Sardinia with the involvement of Pro Loco, local associations (such as AUSER)<\/strong> and numerous schools<\/strong>, through participatory workshops. <\/p>

Recent villages involved in the research include Busachi, Nughedu Santa Vittoria, Sedilo, Asuni, San Nicol\u00f2 d’Arcidano, Tramatza, Laconi, Villanovatulo, Perdasdefogu, Orune, San Basilio<\/strong> and San Giovanni Suergiu<\/strong>. This wide participation has made it possible to collect authentic testimonies that reflect the collective memory of generations of Sardinian children. Visitors often recognize toys from their own childhood in the museum’s toys, making the visit an exciting and personal experience. <\/p>

The collection is based on a precise methodological choice: to enhance the “homemade toy,”<\/strong> made from poor or salvaged materials, constructed by parents, relatives, friends or by the children themselves<\/strong>. The goal is not perfect aesthetics, but the authenticity of the popular object, which tells about ingenuity, creativity and material culture. <\/p>
