MISSION:
The American Toy Marble Museum
preserves and disseminates, through multimedia exhibitions and displays, the
history of the American toy industry in the city where it all started:
Akron, Ohio. In order to keep the engineering, arts and games of
American marbles alive, the museum promotes quality playtime activities for
children of all ages. Such activities include the organizing of children's
sporting events and the creation of an interactive museum. The museum
strives to promote good sportsmanship and fair play, to discourage
delinquency, and to encourage an exploration of both the scientific and
aesthetic potential to be found in a bag of marbles.
