Kids and families play to learn in whimsical, interactive exhibits where they can step onto Sesame Street, run a kid-sized supermarket, and marvel at extraordinary collections including miniatures, dollhouses, advertisements, home crafts and souvenirs, and the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of toys and dolls.

Strong Museum houses the National Toy Hall of Fame®, which annually inducts toys that have achieved longevity and national significance in the world of play and imagination.

Strong Museum is pleased to announce that Ty, Inc. has donated 723 Beanie Babies to the museum, including examples of approximately half of Ty, Inc.’s production list of the plush toys. A public display of about 200 of the lovable critters can now be found on view among the cases of dolls, dollhouses, miniatures, and vintage toys at Strong Museum.
