Link to TOYS AND TRANSPORTATION MUSEUM PHOTOS
There are a LOT more photos on the link above. The Toys and Transportation museum sounds like a toy museum. That is what the locals refer to it as. In actuality it was a museum of collections. To see it all, see the photo link above. Basically, it is a collection of collections. One of the best museums I have been to. Ever.
The Name does NOT sound like the kind of place I would like.
