Travelogue Of Toys in the Clock Tower 

 
 

 
Every toy tells a story and rekindles a memory. By bringing vintage toys together on public display, they hope to trigger ‘remembery’, spreading delight and joy to all.
They have a collection of over 1000 mostly vintage toys that move or speak or twinkle and shine - toys that conjure memories of childhood and fantasy and delight.

Verna Jooste is an artist and teacher who has created work and participated in close to 40 exhibitions 
all over South Africa and abroad. She has been collecting vintage toys of all description for the past 
25 years. 

Jane Kennedy is a television director who has been in media since leaving University in 1980. The toy bug bit her when she met Verna in 2005 - in fact, they were 'introduced' by a singing pig - but that's a story for another time. 

They love toys because of the laughter and joy they bring into their lives. And they want to spread that far and wide. They have dreams of creating the best most fantastic interactive 
toy/play/child/family space imaginable and this is the start. Come and play.
