The Victorian Holiday House of the Grundy Museum in Bristol is about to return for the year with a theme of “Toys and Tinsel.”
This event will feature antique Victorian toys in a mansion decorated for the holiday season. Seven Christmas trees fill the mansion. The volunteers and staff, in addition to Jimmy Bason Gilpatrick and his team of designers from Bird of Paradise Flowers in Bristol, have decorated each tree.
Poster printing can be used to promote such festive events throughout a town and neighboring communities.
Children loved to play with handmade dollhouses, wooden toys, and toys made from fabric in Victorian times. The toys at the museum are on loan from Troy Chinnici-Bianchi, of Philadelphia. His collection has been amassing over a period of 50 years, beginning in the 1970s when his great aunt gave him a couple of her favorite toys. His lifelong love for these toys began and he continues to look for more timeless treasures to this day.
The price of tickets is $5 per person. Proceeds from these sales will go towards the CanDoMore campaign of the Grundy Foundation to help with the educational programs at the museum. Parking is available in the Grundy Museum parking lot and on Radcliffe Street, and is free.
Tours of the museum are at various times from today (November 22) through Saturday, December 20.
