In 2011, the Architecture & Design Department of New York’s Museum of Modern Art acquired a portion of Norman Brosterman’s collection of historical kindergarten material in anticipation of their comprehensive exhibition, Century of the Child: Growing by Design, 1900-2000, which ran from July 29 – November 5, 2012.
The first extensive exhibition of the collection, also titled Inventing Kindergarten, was held at the Williamson Gallery of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA from October 13, 2006 to January 7, 2007. An online exhibition by co-curator, Margaret Wertheim, can be found on the remarkable website of the Institute for Figuring.
