About this audio guide
This guide to the Toy Museum in Nuremberg follows Lydia Bayer, who started keeping dolls, tin toys and wooden animals in the nineteen twenties, when almost nobody thought toys were worth saving. It moves from her family's arrival in Nuremberg in nineteen thirty-three through the war years, and the museum she set her heart on. Best heard standing in Karlstrasse, facing the Renaissance front and the rooster fountain.
