Our Robot
section is fairly new. We try to establish a good collection of Robots. We
concentrate on battery operated or wind-up robots from the 1950s and 60s and
remote micro-chip controlled ones from the mid 80s. If you visit us in
Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada, you can meet all the little guys, you see
on this webpage, in person. (And even see them in
action!). Robots (especially old tin robots) are not only a expensive collectable, they are also a manifestation of our dreams and hopes for a better future. They have great designs, interesting features and last but not least represent a lot of fun. |

1950 -
1960
The Robots of this era are rare and highly
collectable. Therefore they cost a lot of money sometimes. Since the museum is
privately owned and basically founded on one persons collection and purse, most
of the robots here are not in prestine C9+ condition. Nevertheless, we
try to do the best we can to present you the old fellows from their nicest
side...
