Good night at the museum – on how to find a magic herb or a pot of gold

Join us for evening storytelling sessions at the MNK’s exhibitions and gardens – stories inspired by art, museum artefacts and artists will be brought to life for you by an actress, an actor, and sometimes even puppets. There may also be some mysterious props and music. As the museum empties and dusk slowly falls, on a cushion or a deckchair, in quite an unusual setting – let the magic of storytelling take hold!

We particularly recommend this to children who love fantastical and legendary worlds and cannot fall asleep without a bedtime story. And to those carers who still believe in dragons and unicorns.
