Through a curatorial guided tour of the permanent collection, the event examines the cultural lives of toys — from irreplaceable stuffed animals and devotional figures to crafted playthings of value.
Focusing on selected objects, the tour considers how toys embody affection, memory and social roles across time and cultures.
It explores rituals of care and mourning, the imaginative life owners project onto objects, and the symbolic meanings that transform everyday playthings into traces of personal and collective history.
