Willy the Wimp - Anthony Browne

Anthony Browne is a truly unique and exceptional picture book artist whose pictures often tell more of the story than the words.

Through the Magic Mirror: The World of Anthony Browne brings Anthony’s work to life, with real street scenes including the infamous Willy the Wimp, the character said to be based on Anthony himself.

In this exhibition you can enter his family home, complete with family photographs and artefacts, as well as artwork from My Mum and My Dad.

Walk through the back yard from Changes, take a stroll in the park or visit a life-size gorilla in the zoo, showcasing artwork from Little Beauty.

You can also enter the forest where Anthony Browne’s fairytale adaptations can be found, including Hansel and Gretel, Me and You, Bear Hunt and The Tunnel.
