Roald Dahl Children's Gallery, Children's museum in Aylesbury, United Kingdom
The Roald Dahl Children's Gallery occupies a renovated coach house with two floors connected by stairs and a glass elevator inspired by literary works.
The gallery, which opened its doors on November 23, 1996, emerged as part of the Buckinghamshire County Museum to celebrate the legacy of author Roald Dahl.
Each section of the museum incorporates elements from different Roald Dahl stories, including James and the Giant Peach and Fantastic Mr Fox, into educational exhibits.
The gallery welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with extended hours during Buckinghamshire school holidays and special occasions.
The museum features an underground tunnel replicating Fantastic Mr Fox's home, plus a special microscope showing magnified insects from James and the Giant Peach.
