Roald Dahl Children's Gallery
Children's museum in Aylesbury, England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roald Dahl Children's Gallery is a children's museum that uses characters and themes from the books of Roald Dahl to stimulate children's interest in science, history and literature.[1]
It forms part of the Buckinghamshire County Museum complex on Church Street, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England [1] and was opened on 23 November 1996 by Terrence Hardiman, an actor popular with children due to his role as the title role in The Demon Headmaster.[2]
The Roald Dahl theme is emphasised by the use of Quentin Blake graphical elements. Blake, a celebrated children's author and illustrator, is strongly associated with Dahl through his covers and illustrations for almost all modern UK editions of Dahl's books.[3]
