Roald Dahl Children's Gallery
- Roald Dahl Children's Gallery
The Roald Dahl Children's Gallery is in Church Street, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England. It was opened on 23 November 1996 by Terence Hardiman, an actor popular with children due to his role as The Demon Headmaster in a television series. The building was previously a coach-house.
Broadly speaking, it is a children's museum that uses characters and themes from Roald Dahl's books to stimulate children's interest in science, history and literature.
The Roald Dahl theme is further emphasised by the use of Quentin Blake to provide the graphical elements of the museum. Blake, a celebrated children's author and illustrator, is strongly associated with Dahl through his covers and illustrations for almost all modern UK editions of Dahl's books.
The museum has won two major awards for education.
