Architectural toys, like Erector Sets®, Lincoln Logs®, LEGO® bricks, and blocks, create a bridge between the physical world and imagined ones for both children and adults. Karen Hewitt, president and toy designer of Learning Materials Workshop, discusses the history of architectural toys and the significance of play in developing creativity and lifelong learning skills. This program is presented in conjunction with the exhibition LEGO Architecture: Towering Ambition. The exhibition will be open, free-of-charge, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The Museum's Shop will also be open, featuring building blocks and models.
