Hi Amanda,

We have a partnership with Fisher Price.  They have provided toys for us
to use in a toddler age program called Stroller Buddies in which the
kiddos have a 20 minute play time session.  That partnership came
through our development offices.

Does anyone know of any partnerships between museums and toy companies
for
exhibit purposes?

For instance, Playmobil, Lego, Fisher Price, Hasbro/Milton Bradley, and
many
of the lesser known toy manufacturers, seem to be ideal companies for
museums to partner up with. They have money and high-quality
manufacturing
and the museums have the audience and expertise. There should be some
sort
of procedure for proposals, much like grants.

If you know of anything like this, please let me know.

Amanda
