Toy World is an experience for both kids and grown-ups. We're neither a play centre nor a traditional toy historic museum, but an amazing world built with toy exhibitions, miniland, play corner, dragon cave, spooky room and fun activities. Toy World is one of a kind with its combination of minilands and showcase exhibitions. Unique in both what’s exhibited and the way it’s done. Experience thousands of toys from the 1960's until today, trains and slot tracks, music, sound, light and motion effects (that you can activate by pressing buttons). If you look at each toy for one second it takes you several hours! So you should take your time - and don't miss any of the clever details.

Lekoseum is a toy museum with cafe, play-areas and shop. The museum first opened in 1984 in connection with BRIO AB celebrating 100 years as a company, the museum was then to be called BRIO Lekoseum. In the late summer of 2014 Lekoseum became an independent foundation. The foundation's board of directors now include representatives from Osby's Municipality, the company BRIO AB, BRIO veteran fund and the family Ivarsson. One of the foundation's tasks is to nurture Osby's cultural heritage, which is part of Swedish toy manufacturing as a whole. From being merely BRIO's official museum, we are now a museum showcasing toy and play development from the entire county. Our primary mission is to nurture children's play and toy history regardless of age and nationality. One of our new ambitions is to give space in the museum for the employees and local suppliers who manufactured BRIO products during the 1900s. At Lekoseum we display above all, toys that were manufactured locally by many different subcontractors and BRIO's own factories in Osby and Killeberg. Children's play has, for more than a century formed the basis on which companies in Osby built their business. As a result there was once more than twenty companies in Osby devoted to toy manufacturing, which provided a livelihood for the men and women within the area.
