Petra Kralickova: KC’s Treasure Trove of Toys & Miniature...

What this episode covers

Petra Kralickova has been serving as the Executive Director of The National Museum of Toys & Miniatures since 2017. From growing up in Communist Czechoslovakia, to watching the world “fill with color” during its fall, Petra shares her story of following her passion for art to the US and finding her way to Kansas City, the city she and her family now lovingly call home. Petra also takes us back to our own childhoods in this on-site conversation surrounded by the toys we grew up with at The National Museum of Toys & Miniatures. This Kansas City treasure houses 93,000 objects that will fascinate you and your entire family. From summer camps, to wine nights, to dementia programming, Petra’s team has worked hard to create magic for guests of all ages and generations. Petra is on a mission to keep the dreams of founders Mary Harris Francis and Barbara Marshall alive in this one of a kind museum - just another incredible “something” about Kansas City.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
