Mythical beasts await you inside the museum and in story-telling sessions. Using origami paper, make your own mythical beast from a choice of twelve-thousand, and play with lovely, animal-shaped shadow puppets. Become an animal yourself: slither like a snake, sharpen your ears like a fox, twitter like a bird, and add your voice to the animal chorus. We're counting on you!
