Postcard 25 was made by 4-year-old-students after working on "Project with Toys". They
learnt about the Toy Museum in Allariz.

In
1995, the Allariz City Council opened the Galician Toy Museum on the ground
floor of a pazo housing the old courts. The collection was entirely donated by
local neighbour Alberto Oro Claro, who bought, collected and preserved over 600
pieces. Loads of people would continue donating toys since that moment. Today,
the museum holds more than 1,500 pieces representatives of 20th century toys.

Since
2013, the museum has been experimenting a great remodelling, in order continue
being a space where elderly can remember their past the children can discover
their parents’ and grandparents' toys and games. Nowadays, the collection
ranges from 1910 to 1978.
