The Magic Museum

Jack Hughes, a skateboard obsessed twelve-year-old, takes an unexpected and life-changing adventure through the Magic Museum. Join Jack’s incredible tour through the halls of the museum on quiet stormy afternoon.

Is it possible to engage in real conversation with the mute characters created by a great artist? Can Jack help bring the characters to life? Are secret stories locked away in great works of art, revealed only to those who possess a willing vision?

You will accompany Jack on a tour conducted by an unlikely museum guide, and learn a spellbinding story narrated by Jacquelyn, a young aspiring ballerina brought to life in a painting by the famous painter. First startling and then winning Jack’s attention, Jacquelyn leads him down a wall of Degas paintings that reveal her quest to win the role most coveted by a young dancer, the part of the Rose Princess, performed by a great professional ballet company. What follows transforms Jack’s life, and may forever change how you look at art.

In addition to telling a riveting story with evocative language inspired by the work of a master painter, the Magic Museum cultivates a keen observation and appreciation of fine art.
