These are humorous talking sticks. I like this one. Very colorful, too!

MYM said...

Now that's a very cool display :)

Irene said...

I do hope they're glued together, or I would hate to be in charge of that exhibit. The responsibility would kill me. Do you get earthquakes there?

VioletSky said...

Sally: I like the way he has displayed certain words...

Drowsey Monkey: I guess if you are going to keep such a collection of building blocks, you might as well play around with them.

Irene: no earthquakes. and no, I didn't try to knock them over!

Ms. Journ said...

Anne: some of the words might not be so good for kids, but it is an interesting collection.

You have so many alphabet cubes there. I remember only this one set that every kid had in their homes.

Ladynred said...

That is interesting display and cool yellow!

Miranda said...

Very cool idea. Nice yellows!

Dianne said...

Stephanie V said...

I read about this exhibition. They are wonderful. The yellows really stand out.

Becca said...

Those are really cool...I've never seen anything like them!

storyteller at Sacred Ruminations said...

Nifty find ;--)
I enjoyed 'embiggening' your photos for a better look.
Hugs and blessings,

What a unique museum display. I love the yellow tucked in with the other blocks. They really pop.I hope your day is filled with sunshine.

those are super cute

VioletSky said...

chrome3d: who knew there were so many different styles?!

Ladynred: I enjoyed walking around it finding which side of the towers had actual words or phrases.

just me again: somehow it seems a perfect Douglas Coupland display.

Diannr: or trying to recreate it exactly?

VioletSky said...

Stephanie: it was in Vancouver, too, I believe.

Becca: Imagine having all these stored in your house...

storyteller: I'm glad you 'embiggened'.

Mary: I thought of MYM when I saw it.

shopannies: I like the transformation of the styles of blocks.
