Last week, Kim wrote about a recent trip to upstate New York. We were there for a speaking engagement and flew into Rochester, which is the home of the Strong National Museum of Play. This museum is a veritable Adultitis Hospital, and features many exciting exhibits, including the National Toy Hall of Fame. I have mentioned the Toy Hall of Fame on this blog no less that three times (here, here, and here), so it was a real treat to finally make a visit.
I had a chance to compile some highlights in video form. Feel free to take a virtual tour of the museum. How many of the toys featured in the video did YOU (or your kids) have?
Oh my, that doll corridor was horrifying! But the rest of the museum looked really cool. That Star Wars exhibit would probably be my favorite thing!
Yes, the dolls we’re creepy…right up there with clowns for me. And the Star Wars exhibit really brought back some great memories.
I missed the articles on this before – so thanks for repeating yourself! This place sounds like fun-fun-fun! Just the idea of a museum dedicated to play is great. Thanks for sharing. :)
