Medieval bestiaries

Bestiaries are compendiums of beasts that were popular with the Ancient Greeks and revived in beautiful illustrated volumes during the Middle Ages (about 500–1500). Join children’s author Valija Evalds to explore the history of this gorgeous animal-esque art form and make your own fantastical beast book.

Age 5+. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
