Toy Tales: Exhibition

An opportunity to take a trip down memory lane, exploring nearly 60 years of BBC children's television programmes, featuring original animation, puppets, props and stage sets. Included is the first artwork from the Bagpuss series as well as Muffin the Mule toys from the 1950s and current characters from 64 Zoo Lane.

Combine a visit to Toy Tales with a look at the permanent collections of the Museum's own toys, now on display in the Streatlam Galleries.
