The MINT Museum of Toys is revolutionising the museum experience for our patrons – starting with a whole new AR-based experiential learning activity for adults! With the guidance of the Le Petit Prince, meet some of our museum’s prized vintage toys and characters as they personally share their historical and cultural significance backgrounds through 24 interactive 2D and 3D Augmented Reality (AR) touchpoints.
The Le Petit Prince is a timeless tale that touches upon childhood, imagination and the inevitability of growing up. Join the eponymous Prince as he brings you along an exciting AR Journey of Rediscovery in the MINT Museum of Toys through four main toy exhibitions – Outerspace, Characters, Childhood Favourites and Collectables.
But don’t let the AR adventure end there! Check out the Stairwells exhibitions as well which includes Vintage Decorative Tins, Birth of Astro Boy, Spooky Horror, Bedtime Stories and the Beatles Memorabilia.
The Public Gallery located at Level R (Rooftop Level) is also home to our wacky host Mr Punch who will introduce some of the museum’s Vintage Enamel Signs which traces how these advertising signs document the many facets of everyday life for middle-class consumers between the 1800s to the mid-1900s.
The full AR Museum experience consists of a total of 37 touchpoints, a fun-filled experience for all museum-goers, families with children and young adults alike.
