Located, appropriately enough, in the heart of Theatreland,
the Theatre Museum is dedicated to promoting the performing arts. In addition
to housing the National Video Archive of Stage Performance, the museum
boasts a staggering collection of over one million programmes and playbills,
puppets, photographs and props relating to theatre, ballet, dance and
music. Visitors can participate in workshops, makeovers, tours and try
their hand at animation and puppetry. There is lots of memorabilia from
old theatres and stage sets, which creates a very special theatrical ambience.
The Theatre Museum opens 10:00-18:00 Tues-Sun. Closed 24-26 Dec. Tube:
