Tall Tales & Short Stories
“We have been always been puzzled by the wonders of the universe, using our imagination as an attempt to understand. Like out ancestors were sensitive to the fears and uncertainties of their time, we too are dependent on our imaginative minds to explain what is beyond our knowledge.”
Tall Tales & Short Stories is a fictional exhibition to take place at the British Library. The exhibition aims to encourage its viewers to rekindle their imaginative side, something that may have been lost in adulthood, through the idea of myth. At first focusing on British myths, including those familiar to all and stories much lesser known, the exhibition and accompanying book explore what a "myth" is, how they are formed and just why they are important to us.
