Description
Join us for ROM at the Library, a series where museum exhibits and objects spark meaningful dialogue. Explore a theme, hear from others, and add your voice to the conversation. Come curious, leave connected!
Before becoming global pastimes, South Asian board games were tools for strategy, morality, and cosmic meaning. This program traces the origins of favourites like chess, ludo, and snakes and ladders, from royal courts to everyday homes. Discover how these ancient games evolved into thriving modern industry - and why still captivate us today.
Optional: bring an item that ties in with the topic to share your story with others (e.g., a memory, a photograph, an object, etc.).
