Part of Shifting Worlds: Contemporary Art and the Birthplace of Industry
A contemporary art programme by Meadow Arts and Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust
Racing through the multiverse, faster than the speed of light, the Time Travellers are on a quest. They have detected the fall of the legendary Story Stone and they are being drawn in to it like iron to a magnet. At last they have found it – of course it is right here in the land of the Iron Bridge where the tales of the past and the future lie as thickly as dust in an old coal mine. The time has come for a great story to unfold. A story of mythic beasts, the faerie folk of the earth, the fearless ingenuity of humans and the intense and poisonous magic of the earth’s most precious possessions.
Guided by a beautifully illustrated map, players are invited to become vital agents in bringing these stories to life through shadow puppetry, sculpting, building, making music and carrying messages as well as solving puzzles and discovering clues. Do you have what it takes to join the Time Travellers and unlock the power of the Story Stone? The adventurous at heart are invited to come along on the day to join the quest at Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron.
