Travelling Tales
An exhibition full of stories about love, cunning and courage
This new permanent exhibition is a true family exhibition. Visitors of all ages can listen to boundless stories about love, cunning and courage. Various main characters take them on a voyage through stories told worldwide.
Stories live in the hearts and minds of every one of us. They amuse, educate, and convey norms and values: they help us understand the world. Stories are lessons in life. They exist to be remembered and to be handed down. Structure, rhyme and rhythm help us remember stories. They travel with their tellers. They adapt, and soon they belong to their new surroundings.
Young and old travel together in this interactive exhibition and come across stories and various leading characters. The exhibition introduces a selection of stories that know no frontiers. They are about three universal themes: love, cunning and courage. Enjoy them, retell them and hand them on.
