BOO! TELLING TALL TALES The Art of the Picture Book Magic, mayhem and monstrous morals abide in this interactive exhibition for children, featuring illustrations and cut outs from the world of children’s books, by leading authors and illustrators. 

 Join us in celebrating the world of make believe, fantasy and fairytales, suitable for both big kids and little kids! BOO! TELLING TALL TALES is inspired by illustrations from the immersive world of children’s picture books.
