Toys - an LSU Museum of Art Holiday Tradition
November 21, 2010 - January 16, 2011
The LSU Museum of Art has a large collection of American- and European-made toys dating from the late 1800s to the present. This collection includes a remarkable assortment of toy vehicles and soldiers, stuffed animals, dolls and dollhouse furniture, pull toys, banks, games and train sets. The tradition of displaying the toys during the holiday season began during the 1960s when the museum was located in LSU's Memorial Tower. Viewing the museum’s Christmas tree surrounded by vintage and antique toys became a tradition for many Baton Rouge families. This year, as part of the museum celebration of LSU’s 150th anniversary, the staff will renew the tradition with an installation that is sure to delight and amaze children and adults alike.
