Local media has been playing up this one throughout the weekend for some strange reason. Here's the best photo gallery of a place that nobody in Kansas City missed when it was closed: Kansas City's Toy And Miniature Museum Reopens After Year-Long Renovation

Some of us eagerly awaited the re-opening.
ReplyDeleteThe nostalgia, history lessons and entertainment is more than worth the price of admission. This is a jewel for KC and visitors.
Wonder how many toys with lead paint, sharp metal edges and swallow hazard parts 'ol gramps was lucky to evade serious injuries from?
A single specimen fine-scale miniature can cost much more than its full sized version.
The events and classes there have furthered my abilities in minis and doll making over the recent years...two hobbies that can get expen$ive fast.
When is Sly going to announce that KCMO is now the center of the miniature and toy universe? and cite some obscure web zine as a source?
ReplyDeleteAnd it's a certainty that the renovation took place because of the streetcar line and all the new visitors who will be arriving at the new airport terminal and staying at the new downtown hotel.
Don't want to lose that grandiose concocted momentum!
Next up, an Under the Dome project for the east side.
Is this where the toy train you guys have been harping about obsessively for 2 years is going to be?
ReplyDeleteLike most citizens of midtown, downtown, the plaza, brookside and waldo, I wish the streetcar went all the way to UMKC, so I could use functional public transport like they have in almost every city our size all over the world to go see this "toy train" exhibit you guys are so freaked out over.
