The programmes
Monster hunting

Bring your class for a wild storytelling adventure around the exhibition. In this programme your students will handle monster body parts, transform into their own version of a monster and create an imaginary world in the search for a perfect monster. On their journey your students discover the elements involved in the creative process of storytelling, whether the end product is a traditional piece of writing, an artwork or uses technology to tell the story. However, be warned. At the end of this programme your students will have created a world of monsters they won't want to leave behind in the gallery.
