Toy Museum
Auerbach was also founder and director of the San Francisco International Toy Museum which she operated from 1986 to 1990 at the historic Cannery overlooking San Francisco's waterfront. It was a hands-on, children's museum where children could learn about the history of toys, and were able to play with and test out new toys and other products. Unfortunately, it was forced to close due to lack of funding following the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.
