This event has now passed
Remember when the world was only as small as your imagination: a pile of sand could be an explosive volcano, a cardboard box had the ability to drive or fly and the garden was a magical world to be explored and you could be king or queen for a day? As children, we all loved to play – to learn new things, to be entertained and to discover the world around us.

Remember and relive those happy childhood memories through this colourful installation, which also examines the current state of play in children’s lives. Is the notion of play under threat from the busy, contemporary world we live in?

Created in conjunction with C&K, founded in 1907 as Queensland’s Creche and Kindergarten Association, State of Play illustrates the importance of play through heart-warming historical photographs of Brisbane children at play. These wonderful images are accompanied by information from early childhood experts and incredible insights from C&K kindergarten-aged children sharing their thoughts about how they play.

Play is all about exploring, questioning, problem solving, and having some fun along the way – something that visitors will do as they discover this exhibition.

So, go on – play
