Their mission is to celebrate the art of children's books, their place in our childhood and in our culture.
Seven Stories opened on the 19th August 2005, to showcase a national collection of manuscripts and illustrations of some of the UK's finest authors and illustrators for children. They select original artwork and manuscripts - from first scribbles to finished work - to make exhibitions, events and learning programmes.
The exhibitions change regularly and it is always worth visiting to see what they have on display. Linked to a visit to their brilliant bookshop you couldn't spend a nicer afternoon (or morning, or day....). Their website is amazing too - just look at those faces of children listening to stories.
