#play well

Lego x Bauhaus

Extended by popular demand until 13th April 2020*, the Wellcome Collection’s exhibition Play Well explores the lives of children, societies, historic toys, games and contemporary designs to try to work out why humans, both young and old, play. More broadly, the exhibition asks what does “play” mean and why is it important? With the help of a group of 5 – 11-year-olds from Argyle Primary School in Camden, Play Wellexamines the significance of play in childhood and its importance in education, social development, emotional resilience and physical wellbeing.

The tour itself was interesting, and the signed discussion afterwards was also interesting.

The one negative was the interpreter doing the voice over. She didn’t do a very good job, so it was very distracting and a bit annoying. She kept saying things that weren’t accurate, and adding in filler that wasn’t necessary and I felt like I missed some of the information because my brain couldn’t cope with being fed two bits of information at the same time. 

I will be busy tonight so I will not liveblog at all for this game.
