We had a surprise visit from Governor Ned Lamont today at the museum! He even got a chance to speak with some museum-goers @GovNedLamont instagram.com/p/CTAZ5JrF1Or/…

@DylanDreyerNBC We had a blast showing you and the crew around! ❤️

Thank you @DylanDreyerNBC @3rdHourTODAY for visiting our museum! We appreciate the love!

Today is National Rubber Ducky Day! Bring out your Celebriducks to celebrate. But watch out Uncle Sam, you're not the first guy she's sung to.

Our chosen spokesperson for National Body Language Day? The Hulk, of course - he needs few words to get his point across!

Set your nose on fire, in honor of Lucille Ball's birthday! She was born September 6, 1911 and is still remembered for her (always on the air somewhere) TV show "I Love Lucy". Can you say "Vitameatavegamin"?

Happy Birthday, Diahann Carroll! Winner of major awards for outstanding performances on stage and screen, Carroll may be best remembered for her starring role in the ground-breaking TV series, Julia. You had to be very popular to get your face on a steel lunchbox in 1969!

Starting this fall, after nearly 60 years of publication, Mad Magazine will no longer be published on a monthly basis. We will miss those movie parodies and Alfred E. Neuman's eternally goofy grin! #MadMagazine #AlfredENeuman

Donald Duck made his screen debut June 9, 1934. The museum has several artifacts from that film which raise the question - WHEN did he get his nose job? #VintageDisney #SillySymphony

OPEN THE GATES! Saturday, June 8 is Open House Day! Free admission to the museum 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Skeletor is on guard but we have a HULK, and he is always angry. #Avengers #MastersoftheUniverse

Has anyone ever seen Mickey Mouse scarfing down cheese? This is a vital question, as June 4 is National Cheese Day! If any of our museum visitors can find a Mickey toy in our museum with a wedge of cheese in his hand, would you please let us know? No cheese visible in this case!

Saturday, June 8 is Open House Day in Connecticut. Stop by our museum from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM for FREE admission and see where Connecticut keeps all its toys! Never miss the chance to party down with Jerry Garcia, The Monkees and The Spice Girls! #vintagetoys
