Each circle is something in the room. Click one and the photograph moves in on it, close enough to see what it actually is — and what it turns out to be about. One detail in this photograph is not marked.

ABOUT THIS PLACE

Playgrounds are built for a specific size of person. Standing here as an adult, the equipment is not smaller — you are simply outside the scale it was designed for.

This is one of the most reliable sources of nostalgia: an environment that no longer fits you.
