心意·执着

MINT – Moment of Imagination and Nostalgia with Toys

盘算良久的计划,总算付诸实施。

MINT Museum of Toys 于2006年开幕,是日本以外,在亚洲最大的古董玩具博物馆。博物馆里汇集了逾十万件古董玩具,总价值超过五百万元,每一件古董玩具都是馆主亲自挑选的。
游览博物馆时,让人佩服馆主的执着,花钱、费力,不远千里地到处搜集古董玩具,展出的玩具不仅完整,而且不少还是世上绝无仅有难得一见的玩具。据讲解员说,博物馆里不时会有慕名前来的游客,为的是一睹某一件稀有的古董玩具。可惜,许多新加坡人都不知道有这么一个好地方……

Popeye & Olivoyl Tank – Made in 1950s, battery operated, Popeye lifts the tank and Olive will emerge from the top as the tank moves. Worth US$14,000. There are less than 5 known specimens in the world.

Seen Robin without his mask before?

Poster for the first full length feature by Walt Disney – What is wrong with this poster? A clever marketing gimmick…
值得前往的一个地方,参观时,会不时让人不经意地发出“啊”一声——竟然会有这个陪伴我们成长、多年不见的小玩意儿,会勾起参观者不少的回忆……虽然面积不大,却能让我消耗大半个悠闲的下午。
