Full of charm and naivety, these ultimate “loving-hands-at-home” - made creations are expressions of the anonymous and modest.Who will bother to knit a little doll or a pet toy today? These testimonies of a popular tradition which developed through the 20th-century to an irreversible decline certainly deserve their own place in this popular culture gallery as true folk art expression in the domaine of toys and play things.

Eve Plumb is an icon of popular culture despite herself. Having portrayed one of America's best loved "little kids", the character of Jan Brady as a young actress, she immortalized an era and the American Dream with her talent and charisma.
This exhibition will extensively examine her television career and the fabulous artifacts which so perfectly evoke the pop culture life she exemplified as a child star in the 60s and 70s. Her costumes, her personal playthings, her televison commercials for Mattel Toys.
