The Autry Presents PLAY!

From hula hooping in the backyard to arranging digital tiles in a classic video game, the experience of play creates a common connection across cultures, time, and space. Through historic and contemporary objects, interactive environments, and hands-on fun, the Autry's new Play! exhibition reveals the many ways children have played, the social values toys reveal, and how the American West has inspired imagination. Opening on Father's Day, June 18, 2017, the exhibition launches a "Summer of Play!" for Autry visitors of all ages, including playground games, movies on the Autry Lawn, LEGO® days, and drop-in family activities.
