Based under the Globe Theatre, our engaging and informative Exhibition explores the life of Shakespeare, the London where he lived, and the theatre for which he wrote.
A fascinating guided tour inside the theatre reveals the story of its reconstruction and gives an exciting insight into how the ‘wooden O’ works today as an imaginative and experimental theatrical space.
Exhibition Opening Times
The Exhibition is open all year round (except 24 and 25 December). Due to the Globe being a working theatre, your visit may vary. We advise calling ahead for information on +44 (0)20 7902 1500.
