Origami dragons and a story arcade! The joy of museums aimed at children

The article profiles the Story Museum in Oxford, a family-oriented museum designed to spark curiosity in arts and culture among children. It describes the museum's interactive galleries, including Small Worlds for under-fives, the Whispering Wood filled with fables, a temporary dragon-themed exhibition co-curated with author Cressida Cowell, and the Enchanted Library that takes visitors through the history of children's literature. The author recounts her toddler's joyful engagement with the hands-on exhibits, from playing digital Pooh sticks to exploring a Narnia-inspired wardrobe.

'There's no point in an art gallery without artists'

Artists and curators in the UK are increasingly mobilizing to address the rapid integration of artificial intelligence in the creative sector. Following a public backlash against an AI-focused workshop at a local gallery in Hull, curator Lucy Brooke organized forums to discuss the ethical implications of machine learning, including copyright, plagiarism, and environmental impacts. While some creators are calling for stricter institutional policies and collective lobbying against AI exploitation, others, like illustrator Eleanor Tomlinson, view the technology as a transitional challenge similar to the invention of photography, focusing on public education rather than opposition.
