The Collectors Showcase WNY is a new kind of museum where you have the unique opportunity to see collections owned by local residents -- straight from their living rooms to our showrooms. Our mission is to exhibit privately-owned collections, including antiques, vintage pieces, and newer collectibles, on a short-term basis, which means there's always something new for you to see, including seasonal and holiday displays. At any given time, we're likely to have dozens of beer steins and hundreds of teapots on display, as well as toy trains, toy tea sets, and teddy bears; art glass, Depression Glass, and Jadeite kitchenware; figurines and music boxes; and artwork, postcards, and other ephemera. As of June 2024, we have 17 collectors displaying nearly 50 different collections, including Budweiser and Coca-Cola products, Egyptian and English collectibles; Currier & Ives, Norman Rockwell, and Mary Engelbreit reproductions; and Hummel, Peter Rabbit, and Snowbaby figurines. Whether you're interested in artistry, history, trivia or stories of the hunt for another treasure, we've got something for everyone. Where else can you see collections of antique whistles, vintage green-glass fish bowls, and "Aunt Bee" style hats and necklaces? Only at The Collectors Showcase, where you can always learn something new or reconnect with something forgotten.
