Hi! I am Georgie, I’m 10 and this is my sister Tereska – she’s 5. We are children of PPR. Do you know this strange, three-letter acronym? The adults often use it when they talk about times when everything was grey around , we were short of everything, but the life was pleasant nevertheless. What was going on?
These were times of my childhood and I can tell you that were happy times despite the fact, that of many things we could only dream but couldn’t have them. And the acronym stands for the official name of our country in the years 1952-1989 : „Polish People’s Republic”.
We are from the seventies of the last century and we invite you for the time-travel game. You will see what was your parents and grandparents childhood like. What toys they had, who made them, where there were sold and bought. You will learn what we had for desert, how we dressed, what was school like and what we did at city court-yards. There were no tablets and smartphones then, but we had plenty of ideas for common plays and games. “What: cocoa got stuffed?” – certainly you don’t know what it meant. That way we addressed our friends instead of saying’ “what – surprised?” or “shocked? – Iwas right, weren’t I?”
I am sure you will be shocked when you see how creative childhood we had.
Today many artists are inspired by the designs of those past years and uses those inspirations in book illustrations, toy designs or fashion.
Museum of Toys and Play has more than 6 thousand toys from that period and many of them you can see at this exhibition.
There are a few distinct areas or zones at this exhibition. They are marked by special symbols. Have a look of what they mean – and let’s start!
