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.

Famous quotes containing the words toy and/or museum:
“To my sick soul, as sin’s true nature is,
Each toy seems prologue to some great amiss.
So full of artless jealousy is guilt,
It spills itself in fearing to be spilt.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“[A] Dada exhibition. Another one! What’s the matter with everyone wanting to make a museum piece out of Dada? Dada was a bomb ... can you imagine anyone, around half a century after a bomb explodes, wanting to collect the pieces, sticking it together and displaying it?”
—Max Ernst (1891–1976)
