These days the institute has more than 15,000 museum pieces among which one can find ancient toys made from the tarsus in the articular of the animal's hinder leg, simple folk toys, artistic civil toys made in factories as well as book rarities of the Hungarian applied arts.
An exceptional piece of the museum - and also of the permanent exhibition - is a jig-saw puzzle made in the 1760's. It is a woodcut printed on the basis of a Francois Boucher painting. The Favourite Lamb, mounted on a fine slab and cut into 350 strange-form pieces by hand.
The folk toy unit of the museum has a rich collection of clay whistles that show the skills of Hungarian and Rumanian potters of the Carpathian basin. Most of these were collected by the Rumanian folk musicologist Josif Hertea. The interior of a rustic room shows us a more detailed picture of the children and their life surrounded by the adults' world.
