Our second exhibit (and the first to highlight our collectibles), Childhood Nostalgia: A Collection of Pleasant Company and American Girl Catalogues, showcases our founder's extensive collection of catalogues from the renowned toy company.

Although used as a marketing tool, we consider each catalogue a piece of art that took a team of designers, artists and marketers to create. We invite you to stroll back in time and relive your childhood. Along the way, visitors have the opportunity to request scans of their favorite catalogues.
