Our 2024 exhibition exploring the Brontës' childhood.
'We wove a web in childhood
A web of sunny air…'
- Charlotte Brontë, 1835
Our 2024 exhibition, The Brontës’ Web of Childhood, explores what life was like for the young Brontës. What inspired them? What did they create? And how did their experiences in childhood impact their later work?
Highlights include sketches based on the imaginary worlds the siblings created together; the miniscule books they ‘published’; and a diary extract from a young Emily.
Admission to the exhibition is free with entry to the Museum.
In 2024, our programme includes themes of childhood experience, incorporating events, installations, and activities for all ages. For full details of events, including how to book, please visit our What’s On page or call our Visitor Experience Administrator on 01535 640192.
The Brontës’ Web of Childhood is curated by Ann Dinsdale and Sarah Laycock.
