Play is a new display of objects from the Museum’s rich collection of toys, many well-worn and once treasured.
No matter the circumstances, children will always find a way to play. Playing games, making and sharing toys, telling stories and inventing lives – this is how children make sense of the world around them.
Play and the remnants of children’s activities reveal creativity, resilience and aspirations. They also reflect the values and ideals of the societies that produced them.
See if you recognise your own childhood and the enduring joy of play.
