This unique exhibition will utilize toys and games as a lens to explore important social, cultural, political, economical, and environmental themes in our society. This exhibit is especially relevant because of recent press regarding toxic issues, studies emphasizing the importance of certain types of play, and how big business continues to promote war and violence and how issues of fear are affecting the youth of today. The exhibition will highlight how toys and game inspire us to have fun, learn, collaborate and follow our dreams.
