Moving Museums Through Play



At the National Museum, we want to play more with history. In MMTP, we experiment with how.

In our major program on play, Moving Museums Through Play (MMTP), researchers and practitioners collaborate to develop playful experiences and knowledge about play in museums. The program is funded by the LEGO Foundation and runs from August 2024 to the end of December 2027.
