Love vintage toys and paraphernalia? This weekend, MINT Museum of Toys is opening its doors to the public with free guided tours, shopping events, and even a rooftop drinking experience.
Enter for free and explore this charming museum's extensive collection of toys on levels two and three, which span the early days of toys and folk games, nostalgic characters from comics and animations, and cool collectables. During the open house weekend, you may also register for a free guided tour of the museum's Collectables collection. It's a thematic tour centred on beauty, so expect to see and hear all about how beauty standards and practices have evolved since the 1920s.
If you're an avid vintage bag collector (or simply curious), head to the vintage bag shopping event by my Grandfather's Things set in a cosy, living room-like space within the museum. Browse approximately 65 sought-after Hermes Kellys, Chanel Dianas, and more, which have been curated for their unique quilting and stitching. It's also a great opportunity to meet fellow vintage bag enthusiasts. Prices for these one-of-a-kind pieces start from $3,500.
Those in the mood for a drink should absolutely head up to the rooftop Public Gallery. Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc from the French winery Les Producteurs Reunis are going for $9 a glass and $65 a bottle between noon and 6.30pm.
