Wanderlust Tales : The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures, Kansas
NATIONAL MUSEUM OF TOYS AND MINIATURES:
The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures is definite a child’s delight - and I am sure even adults would enjoy the place equally.
The major attraction for me was the innumerable Barbie collection on display - it woo-ed me the most.
How I wish I could go back to playing with the dolls - changing the dresses, hairstyles and what not?! Sometimes it is hard to imagine the innocence we have as children. 😁
Looking at every piece in the museum you would see the precision, patience, and art which has gone into creating these the miniature version of the toys.
The pieces in the display are immensely commendable. Adorably cute and artistic!
The dollhouses are another attractive part of the museum.
Cheers to life!!

HOW TO GET HERE:
I hired a cab, which helped me reach here to the museum directly. It is at a distance of about 12 miles one way.GLIMPSE INTO THE HISTORY:
From their official website:
The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures educates, inspires, and delights adults and children through the museum’s collection and preservation of toys and miniatures.
The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures opened in 1982 as the Toy and Miniature Museum of Kansas City featuring the collections of Mary Harris Francis and Barbara Marshall. Operating in a building on the corner of 52nd and Oak on the University of Missouri – Kansas City campus, the 7,000-square-foot museum had two full-time staff members.
There is a minimal entry fee of $5 per adult and if you are carrying a camera there is an extra charge to that as well.
Barbie - every girl's love!!
