The
Young
V&A
museum,
formerly
the
Museum
of
Childhood,
has
recently
had
a
£13million
revamp.
The
building
is
brighter
and
has
spaces
for
children
to
play.
My
daughter
enjoyed
the
sand
that
spun
on
a
lazy-Susan-style
circular
plate,
and
you
could
comb
it
into
shapes.
We
also
enjoyed
the
large
blue
building
blocks,
where
you
could
build
your
dream
house.
However,
there
weren't
really
enough
blocks
for
the
amount
of
children
that
would
attend
the
museum
-
please
can
the
museum
get
some
more
blocks
so
that
the
children
can
build
properly
and
enjoy
the
area
to
the
full.
There
is
a
sectioned
off
area
for
the
youngest
children
(3
and
under)
so
they
can
play
in
peace,
which
is
thoughtful.
My
daughter
was
a
little
disappointed
that
you
couldn't
see
the
cabinets
of
old
toys
in
that
area
as
we
were
not
allowed
in...
perhaps
this
can
be
addressed?
We
enjoyed
the
storytelling
which
you
had
to
get
a
(free!)
ticket
for.
There
was
an
area
with
doll
houses
that
children
could
play
with,
and
an
optical
illusion
room,
which
was
very
fun
and
interactive.
We
enjoyed
the
many,
many
listening
posts
where
you
can
put
an
earphone
to
your
ear
and
hear
objects
talking
about
their
design,
or
hear
inventor
children
discussing
their
inventions,
or
listen
to
d&d
masters
discuss
their
campaigns
and
dioramas.
It
is
a
lovely
free
museum.
There
was
a
paid
for
exhibition,
which
I
did
not
visit
this
time
but
would
be
interested
in
seeing
another
day
(currently
about
Japanese
Myths
and
their
influence
in
modern
Japanese
culture).
I
enjoyed
it
a
lot
but
do
feel
there
were
a
few
things
that
could
improve
it
-
more
availability
of
equipment
in
the
construction
play
area
(also
the
'marble
run'
was
low
on
balls
to
run
down
it).
I
think
it
would
be
easy
to
add
more
interactive
play
at
little
cost,
such
as
large
boxes
of
lego,
but
the
interactive
things
we
played
with
were
brilliant.
This
museum
has
gone
from
a
nostalgic
time
for
adults
(a
'toy
prison'
with
everything
behind
glass)
to
a
modern,
interactive,
fun
day
out
for
children.
Just
a
few
easy
fixes
would
really
improve
the
interactivity
and
complete
it
to
the
full
5
stars.
