At North Wind we are a big fan of the maxim “sufficiently advanced learning is indistinguishable from play” (even if we don’t remember who originally said it!). Recently we have started to see a lot of museum-adjacent playgrounds and museum playspaces who have created infrastructure for play that resonates with appropriate themes.

Steal This Idea is a new series of blog posts designed to promote some of the best heritage practices that we observe around the globe. We hope you’ll find these as inspiring as we do!
