Seven Stories is the national home of children's books in Britain.
We celebrate the art of children's books, their place in our childhood and in our culture. Seven Stories opened on the 19th August 2005, to showcase a national collection of manuscripts and illustrations of some of the UK's finest authors and illustrators for children.
We select original artwork and manuscripts - from first scribbles to finished work - to make our exhibitions, events and learning programmes. Exhibitions currently on show are Through the Magic Mirror, the World of Anthony Browne and Daydreams and Diaries: the Story of Jacqueline Wilson.
Seven Stories is a registered charity, supported by Arts Council England and Newcastle City Council, and relies upon grants and voluntary donations. If you would like to support our work, find out how.
