The Minnesota History Center, located in St. Paul, Minnesota, is currently spotlighting vintage toys in an exhibit entitled “Toys of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s”, on view until January 4, 2015. Among other toys of the era, the exhibit features classic white, red and yellow LEGO bricks stacked together, forming a wall.
At the exhibit, LEGO is positioned among other construction toys that were popular in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s including: Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys and Erector Sets. Despite the small size of the LEGO display, the temporary toy exhibit offers a fascinating, nostalgic glimpse at a variety of toy contemporaries to the interlocking plastic bricks.
