From an African jungle to a giant’s castle, visitors will step into larger-than-life pages of seven favorite fairy tales. Enter the exhibit via a magical portal into a fabulous storybook kingdom where children ... and their grownups ... learn the meaning and history of tales they’ve known all their lives and others that may be new to them.
Journey deep into multicultural stories as you cross a wooden bridge in “Anansi and the Talking Melon,” play a harpsichord in “Beauty and the Beast,” try on a glass slipper in “Cinderella,” work at a cobblers bench in “The Elves and the Shoemaker,” climb a beanstalk in “Jack and the Beanstalk,” catch a wolf in “Lon Po Po” and crawl through a mole’s hole in “Thumbelina.”
This bilingual exhibit will resonate with multiple generations and foster a love of reading, books and storytelling.
All ages welcome!
