Explained: The History of Chess

In this video, curator Samuele Tacconi takes us through the history of chess and its close, interconnected relationship with war since ancient times.

Exploring the concept of play in human cultures, Play Power reflects on the broader significance of play and how this is integrated into our daily lives.

This exhibition forms part of our What is the Meaning of Life? season, which delves into the fundamental questions of human existence, from rulemaking, to time and play.
