New museum curator Alan Pearce is having fun sorting out exhibits for its latest exhibition - Toys and Games.
The display, which opens at the Kirkleatham Hall Museum, near Redcar, on Sunday - also the day of the museum's Christmas Extravaganza - features items from Roman times to Star Wars figures.
Mr Pearce, formerly curator of the Timothy Hackworth Museum, in Shildon, County Durham, said: "This is a great way to start my new job. We've found dozens of fun things to do from the recesses of the museum's archive."
Visitors will be able to try their hand at some traditional games. The exhibition runs until the spring.
