What's My Story?

Create your own fantastical creature using colourful pieces shaped like wings, paws, tails and more. Shine your creation on an overhead projector and tell its story. Don’t forget to visit the galleries and see how many fantastic creatures you can find.

There’s more! Add colour to scenes inspired by the Hong bowl on display in the Maritime Trade Gallery. Then spin your artwork and watch the drawings come alive, like in early animation.
