The Children Before Us

You will learn about the perils of infancy, the rise of schooling for children, and the popular toys and entertainments of the time. You will also have the chance to experience the toys enjoyed by these children yourself in our interactive toy section! 

​Exhibit planning, design, and execution by past Assistant Director, William Best.
