Meet the Collectors Series at The Strong
“Meet the Collectors” is a series of exclusive, onsite, after-hour events that welcome to The Strong some of the world’s most knowledgeable collectors in the toy, game, and video game spheres. Each Meet the Collectors event focuses on a theme such as board games, dolls, vintage video games, construction toys, and more. These events are open by invitation to The Strong’s most generous supporters, donors, and partners.
As an important form of play, collecting appeals to people of all ages and backgrounds. In fact, The Strong’s founder, Margaret Woodbury Strong, came from a family of collectors and was an avid collector herself. Her love of museums and travel started Margaret on a lifelong journey of collecting dolls, household items, and small objects, inspiring her to found and charter her own Museum of Fascination, which has evolved into The Strong National Museum of Play.
