The roughly 6.000 objects in the Museum's sports collections
bear witness to the vital place of sports in the nation's history.
Leisure collections encompass camping vehicles and gear, video
games, playing cards, sportswear, exercise equipment, and Currier
and Ives prints of fishing, hunting, and horseracing. Some 4,000
toys dating from the colonial period to the present are a special
strength of the collections |
