In here, over 450 specimens of the Harley-Davidson motorcycles have been amassed and displayed artistically.

So how do you quench your curiosity about dinosaurs? The answer is dinosaur museums. You can have fun at dinosaur museums while you sample the pieces of credible history, collected from anthropological excursions and then reconstructed artistically to recreate the huge creatures. In dinosaur museums, you hitch a time machine to thousands of years before you were born, objectively piecing together the evidence that tells the dinosaur story without misinformation.

Toys museums are simply fun museums that stock an assortment of toys on a particular theme. Toys have become more and more innovative over the years and they have become a representation or even a role model for children in particular cultures. The Barbie Doll in America is perhaps the greatest doll toy of all time across the world, and her popularity is mainly from her great representation of the American culture. However, this same toy was banned in Iran and then Middle Eastern countries in general, simply because she was thought to represent a culture in opposition with that of predominantly Muslim countries. In effect, a new doll that resembles Barbie was launched in November 2003 in Syria. This doll, the Fulla doll (called the Muslim Barbie by some quarters), was said to represent the Muslim culture since she wore conservatively and even had a hijab.
 Toy Museums With such key cultural attachments as exemplified above, toys have increasingly become objects of cultural representation. Toy museums therefore are museums that showcase the toys that have been created to denote a particular culture, period of history or cultural conception. Children and adults alike can have fun at toy museums sampling some of the greatest permanent collections of
