The German Tin Figure Museum is presenting a unique anniversary exhibition of the Kieler Zinnfiguren company. Unique because the exhibits, which represent 100 years of company history of Kieler Zinnfiguren (Kilia), have never been shown before and in such a wide range. The exhibition spans from the beginnings as a factory for historical pewter figures and cultural images, from the Kiel pewter figure as a German toy pack to the high-quality diorama scene as a national and international showcase. Over 40 lenders participated with exhibits, including scenes from Karl May's adventures, the Kilia children's adventure worlds of the post-war period, from fairytale worlds and the Hinsch Zoo, which is fabulous for collectors and is being exhibited here for the first time in this form and in its entirety.
