To do important projects you need to be sure that your feet are firmly on the ground.
That's how we went to the moon. (Bruno Munari)

Between the 70's and the 90's Bruno Munari , together with his numerous collaborators projected workshops for children in nursery, elementary and middle schools in Italy and numerous other countries, in Museums and private centres.
It was a concrete reply to a sincere ethnic commitment that characterize the work of an artist, Munari considered this of equal importance to his formation as a designer, writer and inventor if not his most important project of his life.
The story of these workshops starts in 1977 in Milan at the "Pinacoteca di Brera".
The first one was entitled "Play with Art" and was an historical event for the city. Bruno Munari was asked to project an area dedicated to children inside one of the most prestigious museums in Italy. It was presented for three months, from the 15th. March till 15th. June.
It was the concrete reply to the "provocation" in the request by the Director of Brera at that time Franco Russoli, who wanted "actions" that would transform the museum from "an ebony tower just for an elected few" into "a live organism" able to be "an instrument of communication to the population" and "social services".
The workshop was included in an exhibition entitled  " Trial of a museum" and was literally an event that led to a lot of discussion and was repeated during the next twenty years in many parts of Italy and abroad.
During the 70's and 90's many more workshops were developed. At the beginning they were experimental workshops based on visual communication but over the years the method was applied to multi-sensorial workshops, including ceramics, design, printing, textiles, sound, woodwork, plastic, books, touch, Lego ® blocks and photocopies.
In the world Bruno Munari has "Played with Art" at Jerusalem, Venezuela, San Sebastian in Spain, Paris, Rio de Janeiro.
At Tokyo in 1986 for the inauguration of the "Kodom no sciro" known as the children's castle, Bruno Munari realized in one place, all the types of workshops that he had invented.
