Yesterday Mark and I took Jessie (Mark’s sister) to the old town to show her the goods. We managed to get her there just in time to see the Neues Rathouse come to life with bells and dancing statues which happens twice a day.
Several days earlier we were told by our new friend Paul that there was a tower on a nearby church that afforded views of the Neues Rathause and of the mountains behind it. We went in search of it but got turned down at the door because there was a religious service going on inside.
Undeterred, we went searching for a replacement. And that’s how we found the toy museum in the Altes Rathaus
The banner outside promised 50-year-old barbies, 100-year-old teddy bears and 25-year-old model trains…and a tower. What it should have said was “The stuff inside will give you nightmares”. Unaware we shot up that narrow, curly staircase faster than you can say “all of the windows are locked and the toys in here are creepy”.
Here’s just a sample of what we saw:
This one moved its arms, legs and head and said “mama”:

Oh and some fake meat so you can play “Butcher” :
I couldn’t find the syringe filled with Valium that the kids would have had to be injected with for these to seem like fun.
