If you are in Slovenia or near Slovenia, you can visit a town called Maribor (Maribor is this year European capital or culture) and you can see an display of more than 40.000 lead toy soldier figures (watch the link). It is from a private collection of Austrian collector Otto Gariboldi. Figures are very old from 17 century to 20 century, so a lot of them are one of the first ever made.
Because of th elack of space there will be only 10.000 figures displayed....but i read that they have more than 40.000 in this museum in Maribor.
THE ENTER IS FREE!
The show will be open from march 2012 to March 2013!
