The Stan Turner Show 05-10-2014

On view May 24, 2014 to Jan. 4, 2015

At the Minnesota History Center There is a new exhibit opening up called "Toys of the 50's, 60's, & 70's" Kate Roberts and Adam Cher are on the show to talk about the exhibit.

Gumby. Barbie. Slinky. Mr. Potato Head. Wham-O. Spirograph. Hot Wheels. The names of popular toys from the 1950s, '60s and '70s capture the craziness, the joy, the sheer fun of being a kid. But beneath those nutty names are rich veins of nostalgia, memory and history.

The stories of the kids who played with these toys, the adults who bought them, the child-rearing experts who judged them and the people who invented them, reflect the rhythms of American life. Experience the toys and their stories through three imagined living rooms that bring the decades back to life.
