May the Toys be with You

May The Toys Be With You
Until 3 November 2024
THE FORCE IS STRONG AT DISCOVER BUCKS MUSEUM THIS AUTUMN!
An exhibition of one of the UK’s finest collections of vintage Star Wars toys and original movie posters.
From a galaxy far, far away comes an absolute must-see for fans of Star Wars and the silver screen…
One of the UK’s finest collections of vintage Star Wars toys and original cinema posters is on display in a stunning exhibition here at Discover Bucks Museum.
Back when the movie Star Wars broke box office records in 1977 no one could have predicted that the merchandising would go on to earn even more than the film itself. The toys of Star Wars took the world by storm and became the must-have playthings for an entire generation. From 1977 – 1985 an estimated 300 million action figures were sold, allowing children to re-enact the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo.

May The Toys Be With You is both a celebration of the now highly collectable vintage toy line and also of the iconic design work and art of the Star Wars movies. From X-Wing Fighters to lightsabers, these fantastical designs have fired our imaginations and stamped their place on our cultural landscape. For little kids and ‘big kids’ alike this is an unmissable opportunity to view many rarely seen Star Wars treasures. This exhibition has broken visitor attendance records at a host of museums around the country, and we’re excited for its first visit to Aylesbury.
