Enjoy an exhibition on the world of Paddington Bear! The much-loved children’s book was first published in the United Kingdom in 1958, which means the story celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. The special exhibition is split into five sections: exploring the story of Paddington, the creation of the work, the world depicted in the stories, the worldwide fame of the series, and a final section which will provide an overview. Sketches drawn by Paddington’s creator Michael Bond, who passed away in June 2017, will also be featured. Original goods and merchandise will also be on sale at the venue!
