Once Upon a Time, a Story of the Origin of Fairy Tales

It features both familiar and less familiar fairy tales from Europe and beyond, taking visitors across the seven lands and the seven seas.

The magical forest in the exhibition space leads visitors into a world of tales full of adventure, wonder, and trials and tribulations. Visitors follow the paths of a hero. The adventures take the traveller to different times and places, introducing them to the universal laws of storytelling. At the same time, the fairy tales share their hidden meanings and lessons.

The exhibition is an experience. Recognising familiar fairy tale characters brings joy to both adult visitors and young listeners. The exhibition takes a deep dive into the origins of fairy tales and explains how stories were told in the old days, what lies beneath the symbolism of fairy tales, and how fairy tales have changed over time.
