While today’s children are overloaded with high tech gizmos and electronic gadgets to play with, you now have a unique opportunity to see how children have been entertained over the past 300 years.
A Child’s Eye View is a special exhibit at DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum in Colonial Williamsburg, VA featuring toys from the past three centuries. The exhibit is on display now through Jan. 3, 2010.
Throughout the years, many toys have been made to represent the adult world in miniature. Dollhouses, trains, animals, vehicles and play sets give children the opportunity to imagine and arrange their own version of the grown-up world.
Visitors to the exhibition will see dollhouses that range from a four-room Philadelphia early nineteenth-century row house to a 12-foot long, multi-room house from around 1900.
There is also a special selection from a toy train collection as well as a wide variety of dolls, building blocks and toy animals.
