Come play with us! From the simplest handmade playthings to the latest mass-market craze, toys are an integral part of the childhood experience. Indulge your inner child with a night of all things toys, including mini museum touch tables with toys from different eras; vintage toy print ads and commercials; and display tables hosted by the Field House Museum, the Miniature Museum of Greater St. Louis, the World’s Fair Society, and WashU’s Special Collections. You can also play vintage board games and make your own toy-themed craft. At 6:30pm, enjoy two short presentations about toys of the 1950s and one St. Louis man’s efforts to sell toys along the Santa Fe Trail.
Presented by WashU.
