Cinema, teatro, sport e trasporti sono così rappresentati, all’interno del Museo, attraverso la fantasia dell’industria e dell’artigianato del settore, consentendo di offrire al grande pubblico di tutte le età occasioni di scambio, approfondimento e interazione con una tipologia di oggetto che, più di tanti altri, interpreta l’immaginario collettivo e non soltanto infantile.
