Good night

good night at the museum: why it’s worth following the unicorns’ example

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, whether on a cushion or a deckchair, in a rather unusual setting – let the magic of storytelling take hold!

Hosting:
