Saturday – The Stuff of Nightmares @ V&A Museum of Childhood
Childhood fairytales are typically filled with Princesses, Princes, love and happy endings but this exhibition aims to explore the darker side of our favourite childhood stories. ‘The Stuff of Nightmares’ exhibition is centered around the tale ‘Fundevogel’ by the Brothers Grimm, a dark twisted story far removed from the fairytales we know and love. If you want to immerse yourself in the darker side of innocent playthings get yourself to the V&A Museum of Childhood, just in time for Halloween!
