Guided tour of the fairytale museum's toy exhibition
How did children play in the sixties? What happened to the competition from Playmobil? And how did the first action figures and video games conquer children's rooms? Cultural scientist Roxanne Elora Mettner answers questions like these at the Bad Oeynhausen Fairytale Museum - and guides visitors through the popular special exhibition "From tin cars to virtual reality. Toys and children's rooms from 1950 to the present day". Whether it's the long-disappeared rivals to the Star Wars spaceships, steering cars with clunky cables, dolls for applying make-up or curious accompanying toys from TV shows that have long been mothballed: with several hundred exhibits from the world of toys, the exhibition brings past childhoods back to life - and at the same time shows how much society in the Federal Republic of Germany has changed since 1950. A visit to the permanent exhibition on the world of fairy tales is included.
