With Catherine Howell (V&A Museum of Childhood)
 
Some of the most familiar board games in the world are games about war: Risk, Battleships… even chess. But what about games that were made and played in the shadow of war? Games like the notorious ‘Jews Out!’ game, for example, which reinforced the aggressive antisemitic message of Nazi propaganda?
 
This interactive workshop, hosted by the Wiener Library with Catherine Howell of the Victoria and Albert Museum of Childhood, will explore the meaning of game-playing and childhood in the context of global conflict.
 
Admission is free of charge, but places must be reserved in advance by emailing info@wienerlibrary.co.uk or calling 020 7636 7247.

A unique exhibition of contemporary art will be on show alongside the collection of ancient artefacts at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology in May. The show will feature the work of 12 artists from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.

The exhibition is the result of a recent collaboration between the Petrie Museum and the University of the Arts London, which gave second-year BA Fine Art students from Central Saint Martins an opportunity to study the museum’s extensive archaeological collection. The students were asked to contemplate the ways in which civilisation has been portrayed through the museum, and how the object has been reconsidered under and after modernism. Their resulting works reflect their own personal take on the museum’s objects and the theme of historic representation.
