'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.
