READY FOR CHRISTMAS ?

German Toy Exhibit in November and December 2018

We are planning a special exhibit about German toys from the 19th centry to the present in the weeks preceding Christmas! Germany has been known as the country of toy makers since the late Middle Ages - from dolls to wooden figurines, tin soldiers to trains, German-made toys dominated the market, and American toy sellers ordered their items from illustrated catalogues.

How can you help us? We are currently gathering items for our exhibit, and if you think that you can make a contribution - either a temporary loan or a permanent donation - please email Katja Sipple at sipple@gahmusa.org or call 202-467-5000 At the German-American Heritage Museum https://gahmusa.org/
