Play!

Experience the next level of toys and games at this new exhibition opening on Father’s Day in 2017. Through more than 100 historic objects from the Autry’s collections, Play! explores the role of toys and games across cultures and over time. 

Featuring dolls, board games, video games, outdoor activities, and more, the exhibition looks at the many ways children have played in the American West, the social values toys reveal, and how the West has inspired imagination over time. Beyond the displays, visitors are invited to get hands-on with games of the past and present—no assembly required.
