Attraction Information
The Story Museum’s exhibitions and spaces are currently closed for redevelopment, with plans to reopen in 2020. In the meantime, you can still visit the Changing Room for FREE
Step off the page into a world of colour, characters and literary delights. You’ve discovered The Story Museum!
The museum regularly produces new installations in collaboration with illustrators, and parents bring their little ones back time and time again for poetry and storytelling, or screenings of Disney classics in the museum cinema.
The essential draw, however, is the incredible Changing Room. Choose from an entire universe of costumes, step out onto the red carpet and hear your self-appointed name announced for all to hear! You'll also get to discover fascinating pop-up stories and take a glorious photo on the Talking Throne.
- Immersive experiences based on children’s books
- Possibly the world’s greatest dressing up box
- An array of activities including cinema, storytelling and dance

Reviews
Our favourite place in Oxford - truly magical 5 out of 5 stars
There is no place quite like the dressing up room at the story museum, it's truly something very special. And all that after you've stepped through the back of the wardrobe into Narnia. We got back time and time again and it never fails to disappoint, especially as they're always adding new stuff too.
