Once Upon a Time in St. Louis
The St. Louis Public Library and The Magic House Children’s Museum in St. Louis are joining together to enter the magical world of fairy tales and they’re inviting you to come along. With the help of a grant from The Institute of Museum and Library Services, the two partners have created a one-of-a-kind, interactive exhibit titled “Once Upon a Time ... Exploring the World of Fairy Tales.”
This unique exhibit at Central Library, transports kids, 3-10 years of age, inside seven important tales in a way they’ve never experienced before. The 2000 square-foot exhibit focuses on the power and significance of fairy tales. It brings to life seven rich tales, each with its own large-scale environment and interactive components.
In each environment kids will use dramatic play to become a part of the story and they’ll explore activities within each tale. With the help of adults, they’ll also learn the meaning and history of tales they’ve known all of their lives and others which may be new to them.
Featured fairy tales are: Anansi and the Talking Melon, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, The Elves and the Shoemaker, Jack and the Beanstalk, Lon Po Po and Thumbelina.
Hurry, you don’t have much time to experience “Once Upon a Time ... Exploring the World of Fairy Tales.” It’s only open through December 30, 2006. Click on the link above for more information.
