I took my family on a family trip today to a museum of childhood and doll. My spouse likes dolls, especially realistic baby dolls, as she has been a collector for years. She reminded me that there was going to be a show of realistic baby dolls at this museum, so we figured we might have a look.
Upon arrival, we soon saw that this was a very huge exhibition into the lifes and cultures of kids over the last 150 years or more. There was one specific show that made me understood how difficult a life children had back in the late 1800's.
The event was showing you the difficult circumstances they had in employment as well as the hours they were required to work.
One of the instances was chimney clearing. Children as young as 6 years of age was performing the job, with no security equipment and was exposed to obvious lung problems. Accidents and tragedy was frequent its sad to say. The times had been long too, with children working so long as 13 hours a day in factories with just one short break. How the quality of life has changed within the hundred or so years for the worlds children.
Further into the show, there was a vast array of toys from the previous, right up to the present. Some of these toys reminded me of my childhood, as one or two of the items on show I used to have, and ranging from toy trains and tricycles, right up to a few of the common branded board games we can still buy today.
It was not only a good day out for all of the family. My wife got to see her realistic baby dolls, and a huge selection of dolls there was. This visit was certainly an education and more importantly, a reminder that life was not as easy for children as it could have been back in these tough hard, long working days 100 or so years ago.
