The Museum of Make Believe is an idea I wish I’d had.
It’s definitely an inspiration. The Museum, located in Anaheim, celebrates creativity, magic and the art of storytelling.
And this Saturday afternoon, May 15th, they’re offering a special storytelling pop-up event, “Make Believe at Muzeo”.
Plus, you get to experience it virtually–OR onsite.

Now–full disclosure. I’ve been attending events virtually for quite a while, and will continue to do so as COVID numbers keep declining. So huge applause to the Museum for offering a virtual edition. You can see “Make Believe at Muzeo” as they live-stream here.
However, a lot of people also want to go out and do things. If that’s you, you’ll get a chance to experience this at Anaheim’s Muzeo Museum and Cultural Center, which is partnering with the Museum of Make Believe to host this special event.
The afternoon’s focus: storytelling and imagination.

Local authors will share fairy tales. Artist Matt Schnittker will present his enchanting show, using early lantern light projections. Two magicians from Hollywood’s world-famous Magic Castle will be on hand, wowing everybody.
And this is an interactive kind of celebration.
Visitors get to explore crafts booths. Games and prize giveaways will be happening. And guests can create their own dragon puppet, try their hand at candle dipping or learn Morse code on an old 1800’s telegraph.
Best of all? Virtual or onsite, you’ll be part of a magical journey.
The Museum of Make Believe is a story in progress. A team of artists and visionaries first toured their exhibits around the country, and are now in the process of creating a permanent home for them, according to the museum’s website.
I’m looking forward to the next chapter.
