Inspiring young people to visit museums
Aimed at children aged up to 6 years old, this rhyming story book tells the journey of one of Ashmolean Museum's artefacts; The Messiah Violin by Antonio Stradivari. The story is factual, but with a twist of magic and charm to appeal to a young audience.
The purpose of the book begins as a fun story, which personifies the artefact and allows the reader to create a relationship, and as a result, entices the young reader into wanting to visit the object in real life now that they know all about it.
