If you are a blast-from-the-past kind of person, attending the Austin Toy Museum on #MuseumDay2019 is a must! But don’t worry, if you cannot make it, follow this story and join me in this nostalgic journey!

Sounds like I missed out! #19J1

As I explored the exhibit I noticed kids were excited learning about tornados in such a innovative and interactive way. @ThinkeryATX 🌪 #19J1

For example, The Niépce Heliograph (1827)! The oldest know photograph produced with the camera obscura. It doesn’t look like much but this was the start of photography. It’s amazing how far we’ve come. #ATXMuseumDay2019 #19J1

Wendy Fernandez pointed out the accessibility of the museum and that couldn’t be more true. Some of the items are few of the only lasting artifacts of their kind. #ATXMuseumDay2019 #19J1

(2/2) “Our research library upstairs makes this a pretty unique place because of the way that allows you to explore through hands on research. Also, just how accessible the artifacts are. The displays are so accessible it makes the experience very intimate.” -Wendy Fernandez

(1/2) Wendy Fernandez is a volunteer, curator and consultant at @ransomcenter. When asked what sets The Harry Ransom Center apart from other museums, she explained..#ATXMuseumDay2019 #19J1

Check out these old patches from the New Zealand Air Force! #ATXMuseumDay2019 #19J1

With more of a fine-comb approach you can explore the many individuals and the times they were alive by reading some of the literature of display. #ATXMuseumDay2019 #19J1

Although The Harry Ransom Center is smaller than I expected and there are very few large-scale displays, the museum is rich in culture and history. #ATXMuseumDay2019 #19J1

[Liam Snider @snider_liam]

Eric is right, the museum has a slew of interesting artifacts on display. Check out a few below. Magazines, maps, personal letters, photos and posters. It all feels very accessible! #ATXMuseumDay2019 #19J1

(2/2) “I haven’t been here in a while and I knew they would have some new and interesting artifacts on display. This museum is my favorite because of the type of artifacts; books, magazines, posters. Museum Day definitely motivated me to come check this out today.” -Eric #19J1

[Liam Snider @snider_liam]

(1/2) I got a chance to ask a museum goer, Eric, “Why did you choose the Harry Ransom Center over other museums to today and did Austin Museum Day motivate you to get out and explore?” He replied.. #ATXMuseumDay2019 #19J1

[Liam Snider @snider_liam]

Regular tours are scheduled at @ransomcenter. Guided by knowledgeable museum staff who really bring the museum floor to life. #ATXMuseumDay2019 #19J1

In the early 20th century, magicians were at the forefront of the entertainment industry. Lithograph printing methods offered a whole new way to promote shows in an exciting way. The Harry Ransom Center has a vast collection of posters worth a visit! #ATXMuseumDay2019 #19J1

[Liam Snider @snider_liam]

People here at @ransomcenter appear most interested in the ‘Stories To Tell’ exhibition which features collections is literature, art, and photography. #19J1 #ATXMuseumDay2019

Harry Hunter Ransom firmly believed that a strong research library would act as a ‘cultural compass’ and create a foundation for a great university. @UTAustin is lucky to have a world renown museum on their campus. #19J1 #ATXMuseumDay2019
