An exhibition offers investigation of the history of construction toys and block play. Children and families can experience the National Building Museum’s unique Architectural Toy collection with Rockwell Group’s groundbreaking play space, Imagination Playground.
Creativity makes history.
The PLAY WORK BUILD exhibit draws connections between early examples of imaginative play and its modern-day interpretation.
Children are given the chance to design their own course of play.
Four galleries take visitors through interactive installations of every shape and size. From playing with Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys to hundreds of small- and large-scale Imagination Playground blocks, children have a truly hands-on experience from beginning to end.
“We asked: how can technology enhance the playground?”
Rockwell Group’s LAB created an interactive video projection that traces the shape of bodies and fills them in with virtual blocks—any movement causes the blocks to topple.
