Caroline Jones, CEO of The Story Museum said: “We’re thrilled to have been given the opportunity by World Book Day to have the brilliant Allen Fatimaharan visit the The Story Museum and bring our shop windows to life with his beautiful illustrations. We like to say that there’s a story round every corner in our most unusual museum, so it’s very fitting that now even the outside of the building has a tale to tell.”
