Exhibition

May The Toys Be With You

25 April - 6 September 2026
Free to all

The all-new May The Toys Be With You exhibition is returning like a Jedi to Leicester Museum & Art Gallery!

From the Millennium Falcon to The Mandalorian, this amazing free-to-visit exhibition is a family-friendly journey through five decades of toy design. From Palitoy’s vintage era action figures through to today’s much-loved Lego sets and Funko Pops, these cultural icons are beloved by children and treasured by adult collectors.

Over 400 fantastical exhibits bring the Star Wars toy story to life, with one-off prototype items, striking star pieces, iconic poster art, dioramas, and much more, creating an immersive experience for visitors young and old. Even if you’re in a galaxy far, far away you’ll want to hyperspace the whole family to Leicester Museum & Art Gallery for this one!
