The Wales Millennium Centre has opened its largest exhibition yet, celebrating the life and works of the much-loved children’s author Roald Dahl.

The Wondercrump World of Roald Dahl, which moved to Welsh capital following its stint at London’s Southbank Centre, coincides with what would have been the writer’s 100th birthday on 13 September.

The exhibition features artefacts, letters and manuscripts from the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre, as well as interactive and “magical” elements that illustrate the many sides of the remarkable man, who recorded his experiences as a schoolboy and as a WWII fighter in the memoirs Boy and Going Solo.

“It’s fantastic to be able to celebrate the world’s greatest storyteller with The Wondercrump World of Roald Dahl in Cardiff, the city of his birth,” said Steve Gardam, director at the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre. “This magical exhibition allows you to explore Dahl’s pure imagination and I have no doubt that Wondercump will inspire hundreds of young minds to go on to create wonderfully imaginative worlds of their own.”

The Wondercrump World of Roald Dahl runs until 14 January 2017.
