About Storyland
Experience something new this summer at the Mississippi Children’s Museum (MCM)! MCM’s first traveling exhibit,Storyland: A Trip Through Childhood Favorites™, arrives May 19 and will be presented in the museum’s Traveling Exhibit Hall until August 26. Storyland is sponsored by Trustmark and Parents&Kids Magazine.
Families can watch books come alive as they discover Storyland’s engaging environments. The traveling exhibit features famous characters and iconic scenes taken right out of the pages of seven celebrated children’s books: The Tale of Peter Rabbit, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, The Snowy Day, Abuela, Tuesday, andWhere’s Spot?
Storyland encourages families to discover that it is never too early to develop a love of reading through the realistic experiences pulled from each of the seven books. The traveling exhibit is free with paid admission to the museum.
“Storyland is truly early literacy in action,” said Alicen Blanchard, MCM Director of Education. “Whether sneaking under Mr. McGregor’s picket fence, building a snowman, playing on a giant coconut tree, or mixing up an enormous batch of cookies, children and parents will delight in seeing their favorite characters and settings come to life at MCM this summer.”
Storyland’s grand opening will be Saturday, May 19 beginning at 9:00 a.m. MCM Members will have the opportunity to view the exhibit from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. the morning of May 19. The week of August 19-26 guests are encouraged to wear their Storyland t-shirts, available in MCM’s gift shop, and receive $5 admission into the museum as we say “Goodbye to Storyland.”
