Pollock’s Toy Theatre arrives in Bristol
This event has now taken place. This page remains available for the archive.
You can see Pollock’s Toy Museum represented in a new exhibition at The Stradling Collection in Bristol, with a ‘Neptune’ toy theatre displaying the final scene from The Miller and his Men, the classic toy theatre play where the villains are blown up in an exploding windmill in the final scene.
The exhibition includes toys, automata and story-telling objects from the Stradling Collection of modern craft and design. Among them are many enchanting painted and articulated wooden sculpture/toys by Sam Smith, whose work was shown at Pollock’s in 2003.
While Pollock’s is in a transitional state between leaving its old home and finding a new one, we are planning our own pop-ups and happy to lend items to exhibitions elsewhere.
