Anachronism - noun - something or someone that is not in its correct historical or chronological time, especially a thing or person that belongs to an earlier time.
Is a World's Largest Toy Museum blog post an anachronism? Certainly, in our museum we have many toys that go back many years before blogging, before smart phones, before computers, before . . . Well, you get the picture. And yet we want to keep in touch with a world that even though they seem to be hooked on technology, could still benefit from slowing down and thinking about a more relaxed and in many ways simpler time.
We will be posting articles on items and collections we have here in the museum and you might just find some that resonate with you. You may even decide you need to come to Branson, MO, and join the thousands that go through our museum every year.
As I was writing this, a young couple walked by (honeymooners) and I asked them to categorize the museum in a word or two: "Amazing", "It tells a story." Yes, it does tell a story and the interesting thing is that the story is you. You bring your story to the museum and when you see a particular GI Joe, or truck or doll, it triggers that story and you realize that even though you hadn't thought about that story for years, it rushes to the surface and you re-live it all over again.
