In this Jan. 6, 2017 photo, the founder of the Mexico Antique Toy Museum, Roberto Shimizu, left, and his son, Roberto, arrange objects prior to the opening of a temporary Barbie Doll exhibit in Mexico City. Even as a child, Roberto Shimizu loved collecting things. So when his Japanese immigrant father opened a stationary and toy store in the Mexican capital in 1940, Shimizu began a lifelong quest to save and collect toys. More than seven decades years later that youthful fascination lives on the Antique Toy Museum, a four-story building packed with objects that take transport visitors back to a nostalgic past.
