About the programme
The Maharaja’s palace prepares for a grand wedding, and everyone is busy, busy, busy!
Somewhere among the beautifully carved wooden chests and cabinets a very tiny royal princess (with whiskers and a curly tail) also prepares for a journey. Together with her father (with bushy whiskers and a long tail), she goes in search of “the strongest of them all”. Who can it be?
Step inside the Court & Company Gallery at ACM and join our storyteller as he travels far and wide together with the royal family and discovers the secret to “strength”.
Complete your museum visit by making your own glow-in-the-dark fabric screen print to take home.
This programme is presented by the Museum Roundtable in collaboration with The Storytelling Centre Limited.
This is an in-gallery storytelling programme followed by a craft making activity. The programme will run for 60 minutes.
