Toy Show Takes Over Mandeville

The Schenectady Museum's collection of antique toys will be exhibited in the Nott's Mandeville Gallery beginning with an opening reception and gallery talk by toy collector and restorer Daniel Briggs on Thursday, Oct. 28, at 4:30 p.m.

Briggs will discuss the history of toys and lead a tour through the exhibition, beginning at 5 p.m.

Toys included in the exhibit are soldiers, musical instruments, dolls, marbles and jacks, Noah's ark, paper dolls, board games, trains and teddy bears.

"What strikes me about the exhibit is that it has tremendous appeal for people of all ages," said Rachel Seligman, director of the gallery. "Children love toys, and, for seniors, the exhibit brings back fond memories of days gone by."
