The exhibit opens on Oct. 28 and runs through Dec. 19. At 5 p.m., Briggs will discuss the history of toys and lead a tour through the exhibition. The exhibit features such toys as soldiers, a toy piano and other musical instruments, dolls, marbles and jacks, Noah s ark, paper dolls, board games, trains, and teddy bears. What strikes me about the exhibit is that it has tremendous appeal for people of all ages, said Rachel Seligman, director of the Gallery.
Children always love toys and for seniors, the exhibit brings back fond memories of days gone by.
People are encouraged to bring their favorite childhood poems to share at this event. The Mandeville Gallery is in the Nott Memorial, which is located in the center of the Union Campus.
