In the comments to yesterday's post I got questions about the "big ball of sticks" in the playground at Astrid Lindgren's Näs. I did wonder about that myself when I was there. I saw children climbing in and out of it, so it was obviously hollow inside. But I could not relate it to any special story that I remembered.
Just now it occurred to me to try and ask the omniscient (?) Google AI about it. Below is the answer that AI gave me (translated by me from Swedish to English):
"The big round hut at Astrid Lindgren's Näs is not part of the original playground or exhibition, but an artistic work or installation created to represent a place where her stories take place. It is designed for children to play in it and experience and act out the stories in a new way, just as in her books."
Well, I think it would totally delight the kids!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for letting my inner child know...and if I were a bit smaller I'd sure want to try out the little ball made of sticks!
ReplyDeleteAs a kid, I would definitely have climbed inside the ball. The light in there must be interesting, coming through the gaps between the sticks from all sides.
ReplyDeleteThat must be great fun, and what a wonderful idea. Thank you for the explanation.
