Toys of the 50s, 60s and 70s
Gumby. Barbie. Slinky. Mr. Potato Head. Wham-O. Spirograph. Hot Wheels. The names of popular toys from the 1950s, 60s and 70s capture the craziness,
the joy, the sheer fun of being a kid. But beneath those nutty names are rich veins of nostalgia, memory and history. Experience the toys and their stories
through three imagined living rooms that bring the decades back to life.
