Oversized games are big fun at Henry Ford Museum
At the Henry Ford Museum's "PLAY" exhibit in Dearborn, Michigan, there's a pool table surface with a set of nine giant billiard balls. By rolling individual balls, players create melodies, which can be matched up with other players� melodies to form complex compositions. By working together, players explore the �feeling� of being part of something greater than themselves. No credit Credit: None/
