Century of the Child

Artifacts from PeeWee's Playhouse
Century of the Child
Growing by Design 
1900-2000

This is the title of a new exhibition at MOMA. I read this article in the New York Times about it and was intrigued. I wish I could just hop a plane to check it out! Luckily, MOMA has a fantastic interactive website for this exhibition. It features tons of images and information.
