A Surprising Highlight of Prague

When the Czech Republic was under communist rule, they were completely cut off from anything having to do with western civilization--including toys. As communism took a back seat, they were completely obsessed and satiated with toys. They have a toy and Barbie museum displaying every Barbie that was ever created and toys from way back. We couldn't believe all the cases full of every kind of Barbie.

Notice the Rosie Barbie right there in the front center? And the Wizard of Oz characters.
But the most amazing Barbie I saw in the whole place . . .
A BYU Barbie! How did it get there? Really, think about it. Clear across the world where I doubt many people have heard of BYU. Pretty interesting.
