Can you Help Tell the Story of Children’s Television from 1946 to Today?

December 4, 2014

A new exhibition about children's television is set to launch in May 2015, and you can get involved!

Huw Jones, From Culture Coventry, tells us more...

The Story of Children's Television is a highly interactive and family friendly exhibition which will bring together for the first time objects, memorabilia, merchandise, clips and images from a whole range of children’s programmes from ‘Muffin the Mule’ to ‘Furchester Hotel’.The exhibition will trace the history of children’s television from the earliest days of ‘For the Children’ to the highly interactive multi-channel world of children’s programming today. It will also look in more detail at children’s drama; factual programmes; puppets; animation; ‘Blue Peter;’ and Ragdoll Productions.The exhibition is being created by the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Coventry and is supported by the BBC, ITV, Kaleidoscope, The University of Warwick Department of Film and TV Studies and the Children’s Media Foundation. It will take place at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum from 22 May to 13 September 2015. It will then tour other museums in the UK until April 2018.

How Can You Help?
The Herbert is looking for original production objects such as props, costume, puppets, scripts, animation drawings and ‘giveaways’ to display in the exhibition. If you have something that you would consider lending to the exhibition, please contact Huw Jones or Ali Wells at the museum. Any items borrowed will be securely stored and displayed and fully insured.
