Suddenly, you are ten years old again—pressing your mittens against the shop window, breathing onto the glass, and dreaming of everything there is to play with at Auktionshuset Kolonn.
Inside, the specialists and curators have assembled the kind of objects that once filled childhood dreams, arrived wrapped as Christmas gifts, and, at best, became reality. The spirit of play from many different eras is represented here.
A cat and a teddy bear from the mid-1920s—gentle companions to hug and hold close. A glow-in-the-dark Dracula—a bloodthirsty dream from 1962. And Darth Vader, who in the 1980s could frighten the life out of anyone who wanted to be Luke Skywalker after school.
And then the cars, the dolls, the mechanical tin toys, the carousel horse, of course, the zeppelin, and everything else you can now delight in—if you press your mittens to the window of Auktionshuset Kolonn and breathe onto the glass.
