The Story Museum

A gallery of rogues and rascals, wizards, witches and wild things unfolds throughout the atmospheric spaces of The Story Museum in our immersive exhibition '26 Characters'.

Sail to a tropical island, walk through the wardrobe into Narnia, listen to stories, dress up and meet a talking throne. Exhibition runs until November 2014

We have events for all ages: author workshops, family story tours, talks, performances and more.

We also co ordinate Alice's Day: a city wide celebration of Alice in Wonderland. 2014's theme is 'underground': fall down the rabbit hole and for an adventure packed with mad tea parties, exhibitions, storytelling, music and Alice activities. Frabjus fun at historic locations: most events are free! Come on down and dress up on Saturday 5 July.

Education

We hold a wide range of events, performances and workshops for pupils both here at The Story Museum and in your own school. Many are inspired by our exhibitions and many involve well-known authors and illustrators. We can also provide workshops tailored to your curriculum. Our programme has been developed by talking to teachers themselves about their requirements.

Professional training and development for teachers  includes working with Shakespeare’s text in the classroom, and a CLPE training day.

We regularly evaluate our projects. Find out more about what we’ve done in the past, for young people and adult learners.

We work with schools in a variety of ways and look forward to welcoming groups into the Museum. For the latest news on education workshops, activities and events, sign up to our teachers’ mailing list.
