Century of the Child: Growing Up by Design

By


From a Bauhaus dollhouse to Pee-wee’s Playhouse to Slinky and the Sims, design for children is the topic of a new MoMA exhibit entitled, “Century of the Child.” Among the postwar contributors are designers Charles and Ray Eames.

“Century of the Child” is open now through November 5, 2012.
