The Story Museum
The Story Museum exists to celebrate children's stories and to share enjoyable ways for young people to learn through stories as they grow.
We have a permanent home in the heart of Oxford, UK, which we are working to transform into a new centre of children's literature and storytelling.
We're still in pumpkin stage and not yet fully open, while we plan our 'cathedral of stories'.
In the meantime, we run a number of events in our dilapidated and atmospheric building - do keep visiting our website for up to date information and story resources.
