Marion Groll is the owner and director of the museum. As a children's educator, it is important to her to build up a lively museum, which is worth a visit all year round due to its overall concept (incl. museum café).
Using the example of the so-called "pre-war toys", the Bing Museum spans a broad historical arc over the development of the German toy industry and industrial culture, international trade, the consequences of the Great Depression and the rise and fall of Jewish entrepreneurship in Germany.
Cooperation with school classes and the support of individual pupils in the context of project days and project work are expressly desired. Interested teachers are requested to contact us!
