It is inseparable from the history of mankind. In every society, games and toys accompany every stage of life. But what about in Greco-Roman antiquity? Did we play differently then than we do now? Did men play with women? Children with parents? Did boys and girls play the same games? What do we still know about what amused and educated children 2,000 years ago?<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Produced at the Roman Museum in Nyon under the direction of V\u00e9ronique Dasen, Professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of Fribourg, with the support of an Agora grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation, this exhibition traces the place of games and toys in the life cycle, from infancy to adulthood, from rattles to collective games and games of chance. It identifies unchanged ludic practices and others that have disappeared.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The public is invited to join in the game of discovery. The rules are simple: at the end of the game, the many facets of play culture in Antiquity, linking childhood and ritual, man and gods, chance and divination, will be revealed to all.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Veni, vidi, ludique&#8221; project consists of three successive exhibitions in three different museums.<\/p>\n<p><em>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/publications\/veni-vidi-ludique\/\">publication<\/a> has been issued to accompany the exhibition.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"block-buttons\">\n          <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"block-buttons\">\n    <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/archives-des-expositions\/\" class=\"btn\" >\n    SEE ALL PAST EXHIBITIONS  <\/a>\n  <\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":977,"parent":0,"menu_order":32,"template":"","class_list":["post-2908","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
