Музей Игрушек в Северной Зеландии (Nordsjællands Legetøjsmuseum) – это частный музей, расположившийся неподалеку от Хельсингёра. Здесь собрана обширная коллекция игрушек, которыми играли дети на протяжении многих веков - сотни кукол, детских игрушек, кукольная мебель и посуда, книги и бумажные платьица для кукол... Посетители могут окунуться в далекий мир детства и, возможно, встретить игрушки, с которыми они сами играли в детстве. Этот Музей Игрушек сравнительно молодой, поскольку впервые он распахнул свои двери для посетителей в 1997 году. Представленная в Музее коллекция - частная собственность и результат страстного увлечения Хильды Сванес (Hilda Svanes) старыми и антикварными игрушками.
