Mexico: Festival of Toys November 6, 2009

Mexico: Festival of Toys is an interactive exhibit of hand-made toys for both celebration and play. These toys are an important part of celebrations such as Christmas, the Day of the Dead, Holy Week, and Carnival. Of course, there are also those that are simply used by children for play. Visitors will experience the world of Mexican toys as one of ingenuity and color. The country's tradition of popular art and its diversity of forms, textures, materials, and techniques is reflected in its objects of play.
