DESN405: Toy Robot Museum Competitors

Kidwell approved my idea of branding a Toy Robot Museum. The museum won't just showcase the toys, but will teach people about the mechanics behind the metal and possibly teach kids how to make their own robots at home. Below are a list of links to existing competitors:

It's kind of crazy, but none of the sites really had branding, and those that did had poor quality branding in no sort of cohesive series. When doing a google search for "toy robot museums" the museum that had the most sites dedicated to it/most hits was the Toy Robot Museum in Adamstown, PA. The image below of the youtube video is the only existing branding that I was able to find for it. The most legit museum was for science and industry and those aren't toy robots so much as robots as tools.
