Inspired Gifts on view at the Museum of Modern Art
Inspired Gifts have hit the big time! We are very happy to share with you that UNICEF Inspired Gifts are included in an exhibition about design for children that is currently on view at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. The MoMA show, called “Century of the Child: Growing by Design 1900-2000,” looks at how modernist thinking has influenced designing for children in the 20th Century. The show includes items like child-sized desks, pop-up books and playground designs, and also features three Inspired Gifts: a School-in-a-Box kit, Ready-to-Eat Therapeutic Food, and a baby scale.
MoMA also reproduced a UNICEF poster designed by Jukka Veistola, which was awarded first prize in an international competition for the UNICEF Hunger campaign in Paris in 1969. The poster design is one of 12 postcards that were created for the exhibition.
We are proud that MoMA has recognized UNICEF’s innovative work in child survival and development, and that museumgoers now have the chance to see firsthand the tools that UNICEF uses in the field.
The exhibition runs until November 5 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
