Small Stories

Yesterday the V&A Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green opened Small Stories: At Home in a Dolls' House, which runs until 6 September 2015. The museum has a fine collection of dolls' houses, dating back 300 years. For this new exhibition they've been updated with characters that light up and tell their stories when buttons alongside the showcases are pressed, the small stories of the title. Entrance is free. There are also daily activities: storytelling, arts and crafts, tours and trails. So this is a venue to keep in mind for school holidays, when bored cherubs are driving you crazy. There's a lot more information on the website: CLICK.
