Museum reopens after revamp

A museum dedicated to the history of childhood has reopened following its first makeover in 30 years.

The main ground-floor gallery of the Museum of Childhood in Edinburgh has been fully refitted as part of the £200,000 refurbishment and features 60 newly-displayed objects. There is a colourful “building blocks” design with interactive exhibits tracking changing childhoods while a dressing-up area and tee-pee in a new imaginary play area offers families the chance to play together.
