Imagine a world where one-eyed creatures can shoot laser beams and cows are taller than giraffes – in the land of imagined things at The Great & Grand Rumpus, anything is possible.

At this exhibition at State Library of Queensland, you can step into a wild world of wonder, wackiness and whimsy. Explore large cardboard sculptures scaling more than 4.5 meters high and watch as they are brought to life by interactive digital projections. Get hands on and craft your own mythical creation at The Great & Grand Rumpus and allow your inner child to experience the limitless imagination of make-believe places. You can also see how more than 1000 innovative storytellers just like you have crafted and sculpted mythical worlds and creatures based on ideas workshopped by kids over the last 18 months.  

To learn more about this free and fantastical exhibition, head to the State Library of Queensland website.
