Roald Dahl Children's Gallery
The Roald Dahl Children's Gallery is a children's museum that uses characters and themes from the books of Roald Dahl to stimulate children's interest in science, history and literature. It is located on Church Street, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England and was opened on 23 November 1996 by Terence Hardiman, an actor popular with children due to his role as the titular role in "The Demon Headmaster". The building was previously a coach-house. The Roald Dahl theme is emphasised by the use of Quentin Blake graphical elements. Blake, a celebrated children's author  and illustrator, is strongly associated with Dahl through his covers and illustrations for almost all modern UK editions of Dahl's books. The museum has won two major awards for education. Aylesbury hosts the Roald Dahl Festival, a procession of giant puppets based on his characters, on 2 July.
