A Vitebsk woman has collected a collection of a thousand Kinder Surprise toys

December 30, Vitebsk / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. A resident of Vitebsk, Marina Baranova, has collected a thousand Kinder Surprise toys. Her collection includes complete series of dozens of penguins, frogs, lions, whales, hippos, mice, pigs, and other "critters" that can be found in chocolate eggs, the owner of the toys told a BELTA correspondent. Marina started collecting toys more than 10 years ago. Relatives, friends, and acquaintances helped her expand her collection. Later, she infected her husband and four-year-old daughter with her hobby. However, unlike her mother, little Ksenia prefers to collect not animals, but characters from Russian folk tales. The entire collection is kept by the family on shelves in a sideboard, while crystal and dishes, which traditionally occupy this space, have been modestly moved to drawers. However, space is already running out; collectible toys, for example, have to be stored in boxes. The best gift for a collector is another item of their passion. For Christmas, her husband gave Marina and her daughter a whole pack of Kinder Surprise eggs. You can see Marina Baranova's unusual collection at the Vitebsk Museum of Private Collections, where 350 exhibits from the collection are currently on display. The exhibition will run until February. -0-
