The Strong Museum Toy Hall of Fame

Toystimonials Video

The Strong museum isn’t just a children’s museum, it’s a historical toy museum. We used nostalgic toys from their collection to connect with parents and children alike to break through the clutter and stop the scroll. Even the toys can’t contain their excitement about a trip to the Strong.

The Strong Museum Artist Series

We created an annual series of posters that highlight different toys and games found throughout the Strong’s Hall of Fames. Each year focuses on a silty different theme with art created by different artists. The posters are used as gifts to donors and as giveaways for special events.

Year 1: National Toy Hall of Fame

The Strong Museum of Play is home to the National Toy Hall of Fame. Unlike the rest of the museum, the target audience is adults not children. Again, we leaned into the nostalgia of toy commercials to get them interested in visiting the museum.

The Strong Museum of Play is also home to the World Video Game Hall of Fame. The posters were used to help promote the hall to families in other parts of the museum.

For the third year in a row we were able to make a series of posters to help the Strong Museum promote their Hall of Fames. This year we leaned into an idea that the favorite toys or your childhood have found a home in their Hall of Fame.
