Across centuries, play has been more than entertainment — a language of imagination and connection.

From the earliest board games carved in stone to contemporary art reimagining the spirit of competition, Game On! invites visitors to see games as reflections of what it means to be human.

Ever wondered where the Museum’s knot symbol comes from? 💡

It’s inspired by this 10th-century bowl that shows an eight-pointed star at the centre and Arabic calligraphy that reads: “Generosity is the disposition of the dwellers of Paradise” around the rim.

Spot this bowl in the Bellerive Room.
