Have you ever visited a museum dedicated to myths? In episode 54, Fiona Boyle, the spokesperson for Mythstories Museum of Myth and Fable, walks us through this amazing online resource. Founded over 20 years ago by Dez and Ali Quarréll the physical museum amassed a wide collection of paintings, artifacts and educational resources to help make intangible stories tangible. Over the years, Mythstories Museum has helped to introduce young people to traditional oral storytelling, through storytelling clubs, workshops in schools, family story walks and more! Due to logistical challenges, however, the Mythstories Museum has recently transitioned from a physical venue to an online educational resource for teachers and storytellers everywhere in the world. Don't miss out on this outstanding episode!
