The Story Museum, Museum in Oxford, England
The Story Museum features interactive galleries including the Whispering Wood, Enchanted Library, and Small Worlds dedicated to exploring narrative forms and literature.
Founded in 2003 as a virtual museum, the institution moved to Rochester House on Pembroke Street in 2009 following a £2.5 million private donation.
The museum contains a 100-seat theatre named the Woodshed, presenting regular storytelling performances and engaging programs for visitors of different ages.
Located in central Oxford, the museum opens Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM and delivers workshops, skill courses, and drop-in activities.
The Treasure Chamber exhibition space incorporates dragon elements co-curated by author Cressida Cowell and includes a fantastical Story Craft installation.
