October Half-Term

Victorian Animation

2 paper disks with strings attached lie on a table- one shows some flowers without a vase and the other a cage without a bird. These are Victorian toy thaumatropes

Flip, Spin and Flicker- Victorian Animation!

Join us for October Half term where we will be exploring the very early forms of motion pictures.

Before the television, even before the big screen the Victorians had their own inventions to capture their eyes and imaginations.

Visit the museum and make your own Victorian Animation by designing a thaumatrope or add a image to our community flip book.
