Bateaux Jouets toy boats from Paris 1850 to 1950

A remarkable exhibition at National Maritime Museum, Darling Harbour, presents 100 years of beautifully-made toy boats… a century of childhood for everyone to enjoy.

'Bateaux Jouets - toy boats from Paris 1850-1950', from France’s Musée national de la Marine, comprises some 200 colourful and imaginative craft.

They range in style from simple paper boats to stunning mechanical marvels with the ability to propel themselves across a carpet, a pond or even an open bay.
And they are the products of their time, reflecting western Europe’s rapid industrialisation over the century 1850-1950 and the evolution of pleasure boats,
passenger liners and fighting ships in that period.

But most of all, 'Bateaux Jouets - toy boats from Paris 1850-1950' provides the evidence that toy boats were, and still are dream objects for adventure on the high seas.
