“We had an amazing time today at the Story Museum. It was incredible to see the appearance of pure joy on the children's faces; this is a wonderful sight!”
Visitor
"The Story Museum is like the little door Alice comes across in the wall. Boring reality on one side. Fantastic magic on the other. "
Visitor
"Stories are the most important thing in the world. Without stories we wouldn’t be human beings at all."
