Wed Oct 24 2012

Take a journey back in time as you peruse this vintage collection of European toys and trains. In the premiere museum exhibition of the Jerni collection, a display of model trains, bridges, carousels and Ferris wheels, as well as the first ever model of an elevated train station, creates a diorama populated by figurines in colorful 19th-century garb. All toys are hand-crafted and hand-painted, giving each piece a unique flair. All ages.
