The Anchorage Museum presents Wonderland of Toys. On view Nov. 29 through Jan. 8, 2012
For many Alaska families, journeying to the museum to see “Wonderland of Toys” is a beloved holiday tradition. Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, the museum’s atrium is transformed into a dazzling tableau of toys, some that date back as far as the 1800s. Against a backdrop of twinkling lights and tinsel, find life-sized French dolls, carousel horses, World War I toy soldiers, and an evergreen tree decorated with more than 100 dolls dressed in costumes from around the world. Other exhibit highlights include a hand-painted wood Schoenhut Humpty Dumpty circus from the early 1900s. Learn more at www.anchoragemuseum.org.
