GREECE-ATHENS-BENAKI MUSEUM OF TOYS

Photo taken on Nov. 11, 2017 shows toys on display at the Benaki Museum of Toys in the southern suburb of Athens, Greece. The latest museum to open its doors to the public here this fall, the Benaki Museum of Toys, has already won the hearts of locals who queue to enjoy a journey to childhood throughout the centuries. Housed in a fairytale mansion resembling a castle, the Benaki museum was built in 1900 in a neo-gothic style. It overlooks the Saronic Gulf and hosts 3,500 toys and games and reconstructions from antiquity until the present day. (Xinhua/Marios Lolos)
