On June 25, 2025, 3 time capsules are discovered by a pair of researchers. No traces of corrosion, no signs of wear: the capsules are too intact to be ancient. What's their story? Only one clue: the inscription "4026" engraved on their surface.
The researchers open the capsules and take out 12 objects both familiar and strange. These are preserved, documented and analyzed by the researchers. Their research leads them to an unexpected hypothesis: these objects are not from the past, but from the future. What's more, they're toys!
Through a deliberately fictional narrative, visitors will discover 12 major toy families presented in the form of triptychs: one toy from the past - one from the present - and one from the future.
Questioning some of the toys and objects of childhood, such as cuddly toys, playing cards, construction toys and spinning tops, the exhibition shows a selected point of view on the potential evolution of these toys that have stood the test of time.
