The Story Museum

The Story Museum exists to celebrate children's stories and to share 1001 enjoyable ways for young people to learn through stories as they grow.We take story performances, exhibitions, activities and ideas to schools and communities. In 2014 we plan to open a magical new centre of children's literature and storytelling in the heart of Oxford, UK.

“A wonderful gift from Oxford, where so many stories have begun, to the whole world.” Philip Pullman
