The Glass Bead GameExhibition Introduction The name 'Glass Bead Game' originated from the novel 'Glass Bead Game' written by Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse in 1946.

Hesse's Magister Ludi is the superlative capstone of a life's work permeated by a gentle wistfulness, a growing sense that the goal of the journey (of life) may be the journey itself,and a deeper, richer sense that such human contentment as may be found is to be found in a life integrating action and deepest thought.
