SUMMARY:Picturing Hetty Feather (Exhibition runs from 26 May to 3rd September)
DESCRIPTION:This summer the Foundling Museum presents a new family-friendly exhibition exploring how Dame Jacqueline Wilson’s much-loved character Hetty Feather has brought the history of London’s Foundling Hospital to life. \nSince the first Hetty Feather book was published in 2008\, Dame Jacqueline Wilson’s series of novels has delighted young audiences with the adventures of its eponymous heroine\, the spirited Victorian foundling Hetty Feather. Selling millions of copies\, the books have led to an Olivier Award-nominated stage show and BAFTA-nominated CBBC television series. For her Foundling Fellowship at the Museum\, Wilson researched the history of the Foundling Hospital and developed the character of Hetty Feather\, a girl who uses imaginative storytelling or\, as she calls it\, ‘picturing’ to deal with life’s challenges. \nPicturing Hetty Feather explores the ways in which writers\, directors and designers have used historical evidence and factual gaps to bring the nineteenth-century Foundling Hospital to life. Find out about the real history of the Hospital\, discover how it inspired Dame Jacqueline Wilson to create the character of Hetty\, and explore how Hetty’s story has come to life as a stage show and television series. On display are props and original costumes from the CBBC Hetty Feather television set\, alongside unseen treasures from the Foundling Hospital Collection and archive. Try on costumes made for the CBBC production and use your imagination in a range of interactive activities. \nThis immersive exhibition transports visitors of all ages to the Foundling Hospital. Discover your own ‘picturing’ abilities in relation to the Foundling Hospital story\, and imagine what life was like for Hetty and the real-life foundling children. \nJoin the conversation #HettyFeatherExhib \nThe exhibition runs from 26 May 2017 — 03 Sep 2017.
