Historical toys wanted

An old rocking horse, water damming with rubber boots in the stream, playing hide-and-seek with the neighbour's children - who doesn't have these memories of childhood days long gone when we were completely absorbed in playing with our favourite teddy bear or going on forays in the local area with friends?

The city museum would like to bring these memories back to life and give visitors the opportunity to stage play experiences from their childhood days. The team at the city museum is asking for your support. Who still has historical toys? Reports, notes or letters relating to the toys or earlier play experiences are also very welcome.

If you have something to contribute, please contact Silvia Brede from the City Museum team at brede@beckum.de or 02521 29-4243 (please include a photo of the toy).
