About
Speel! (Play!) is a pop-up exhibition at Wereldmuseum Amsterdam about the stories behind well-known games, from the Royal Game of Ur to Tetris and from Mahjong to Mario. The point is to play: kids and parents can challenge each other on new and familiar games. It also shows how games travel with people, like chess moving from India via Persia to Europe. Suits school-age kids who like games.
Kids 6-18 from €7.50, adults €18
