Playing away the time in the 18th Century

Another exhibtion held on the state initiative "Saxony-Anhalt and the 18th century" is located in the Schachmuseum Ströbeck (Chess Museum Ströbeck).

---

Until the end of April 2011 the exhibition shows how society has viewed itself through the everyday practice of playing games.

The playing child was not noticed until beginning of the century. Any permitted game before was preparing for social life and such demands. Only with the development of education, the natural picture of the child was noticed, which included the right to free, casual playing.
