The Roald Dahl museum

Further to my previous post about the Dickens world museum, I just discovered another museum related to books and well known authors - The Roald Dahl Museum, situated in Buckinghamshire, UK.

I was browsing through the website, and found some interesting facts about Roald Dahl. There is also the facility to download early drafts of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Since I love books and reading, If I was living in the UK, I would surely find places related to my hobby which I could visit!

The Dickens World

A new museum about a famous author - the Dickens World, has recently opened in Chatham, Kent.

Dickens World is a brand new, innovative and exciting indoor visitor complex themed around the life, books and times of one of Britain’s best loved authors, Charles Dickens. It will take visitors on a fascinating journey through Dickens’ lifetime as they step back into Dickensian England and are immersed in the urban streets, sounds and smells of the 19th century.

With a host of captivating attractions, Dickens World features one of Europe’s largest dark boat rides, the Haunted house of Ebenezer Scrooge, a state-of-the art animatronic show, Victorian School Room, 4D high definition show and Fagin’s Den.

Offering a unique showcase for one of the world’s best loved storytellers, Dickens World will truly offer visitors the ‘day out of a lifetime’.

Dickens World is based on a credible and factual account of Charles Dickens works and the world in which he lived. Working with The Dickens Fellowship great attention has been paid to the authenticity of the time, characters and story lines. It offers a new and entertaining way to enjoy Dickens and his characters as well as gaining an understanding of the times and conditions people experienced living in England in the early 19th century.
