The exhibition ‘Molina de Segura, territorio Playmobil’ opens today in the Sala ‘El Jardín’ and will run until 8 January 2027. Organised by the Molina de Segura Town Hall, the event showcases more than 8,000 pieces from one of the largest private collections globally.
Visitors can enjoy the exhibition free of charge from 11 November to 8 January, available daily from 10:30 to 13:30 and 17:30 to 20:00. Following the success of its previous two editions, this new iteration of Territorio Playmobil returns with entirely different models compared to last year.
This year’s exhibition is among the largest ever displayed in Spain, featuring pieces that have been collected over 40 years, highlighting the rich history of the Playmobil toy, which has been around for over 50 years. Mayor José Ángel Alfonso remarked, “What last year's exhibition taught us is that the little Playmobil figures have the immense power to bring together grandparents, parents, and children in a room full of stories. This shared joy is what drives us to embrace this new edition of 2026 with even more enthusiasm.”
The exhibition aims to go beyond mere display; it invites visitors to imagine, discover, and share experiences. Each corner holds a surprise, and every space tells a story worth exploring. Many of the displayed pieces have been out of production for years and were sourced from auctions in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom.
A group of 12 collectors from Valencia, Alicante, Almería, Madrid, and Salamanca, all passionate about history and modelling, have ensured that no pieces are customised, maintaining the authenticity of the original Playmobil figures. The exhibition is designed to be educational, featuring panels with historical explanations, legends, and fantastical worlds while respecting historical accuracy and animal habitats.
The preparation for the exhibition took months, with a team of seven modelling enthusiasts dedicating four days to set it up. The pieces are displayed on platforms 40 cm high, without acrylic or plastic coverings, to enhance the visitor experience.
This year’s highlights include a large 60 m² model depicting the American Wild West, a 20 m² display of life in nature, another 20 m² representation of the Arctic and Antarctic, and a 26 m² portrayal of the Moros y Cristianos festival in Molina de Segura, complete with its various groups, music bands, and floats.
Additionally, the exhibition features a photocall with a giant figure for memorable photos, as well as medium-sized figures for ambience. There is also an interactive game where visitors can search for a hidden Santa Claus in each scene.
