SUMMARY:Exhibition: Making Angelina: The World of Helen Craig
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Cambridge invites families to rediscover the much-loved childhood classic Angelina Ballerina\, with ‘Making Angelina: The World of Helen Craig’\, a new exhibition running from 14 February to 1 June 2026. \nFor more than 40 years\, Angelina Ballerina has captured the hearts of young readers around the world. With over 20 books in the series written by Katharine Holabird and illustrated by Helen Craig\, the stories follow a young mouse named Angelina and her adventures as she pursues her dreams of becoming a ballerina. Today\, visitors can step inside Angelina’s world and explore how the beloved characters were created from first sketches to finished books. \nThe exhibition celebrates the work of Cambridgeshire illustrator Helen Craig\, whose own childhood growing up in Hertfordshire in the 1930s and 1940s inspired the intricately detailed scenes that bring the Angelina Ballerina stories to life. \nOn display will be formative character sketches\, original drawings and behind the scenes material showing how each story takes shape. Families visiting the exhibition can immerse themselves into Angelina’s world through everyday items featured in the books and enjoy the chance to create their own performances on the big stage! \n‘Making Angelina: The World of Helen Craig’ opens during February half-term and runs from 14 February to 1 June at the Museum of Cambridge. Standard entry applies\, children 16 and under visit free. \n  \nGetting Here: \nWe are in the centre of Cambridge. You’ll find us at the corner of Castle Street and Northampton Street. We are right beside Kettle’s Yard and only a 15-minute walk from King’s College. \nYou can park your bike at the bike parks on Bridge Street or on Northampton Street. There is a bus stop nearby on Bridge Street. Find out more about how to get here by train\, bike\, bus\, car or on foot on our website.
