The Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorabilia, located in Burlingame, California, opened in 1995 and is run by Gary Doss, who had been collecting Pez dispensers for more than a decade.[1][2] The museum claims to have an example of every Pez dispenser ever sold.[3] Doss initially ran a computer store and displayed some of their dispensers in the store, when they discovered that customers were more interested in the dispensers than in the computers.[4]

In 2004, the museum expanded and added the Classic Toy Museum, which features well-known toys and related memorabilia. Toys on display include Tinker Toys, Erector Sets, Lincoln Logs, Mr. Potato Head, View-Masters, Colorforms, Lego, Playdough, Slinkys and more.[5] Also in display is the Banned Toys Museum, which features toys that were recalled or banned for a variety of reasons, including safety and appropriateness.
