Toys and games have always motivated us to play. What is it about these toys and games that has helped to maintain their popularity over generations? We play for fun but as we play we also acquire skills. What did our grandparents learn with their play that is similar and different from what we learn now?
With toys and games from our Collections and from the community, we will explore what was, and is special, and why.
JAN 21 - APR 22, 2012

Sports have been an indelible part of southern Alberta culture because people like to challenge each other and themselves, to achieve physical and mental success. Involvement in sports helps humans stay healthy, improve physical strength and dexterity, develop team spirit and, above all, have fun! We will celebrate sports with this exhibit featuring famous athletes, sports stories, and sports memorabilia.
