Join us to discover miffy's world and the artwork of her creator, illustrator Dick Bruna.

As miffy turns 70, we look back at the well-loved character's rise to popularity through the charming books and simple illustrative style which made has made her famous across the world.

The interactive exhibition will bring miffy to life through creative displays and activities which will offer an immersive and playful experience to enjoy.

It will also explore aspects of Dick Bruna’s design philosophy and artwork through his 124 picture books, posters, book covers, logos and house styles for charities and worthy causes.
