Globe Exhibition explores the remarkable story of the theatre, and brings Shakespeare’s world to life using a range of interactive displays and live demonstrations. Visitors can discover how shows were produced in the playhouses of Shakespeare’s time, from writing and rehearsals to music, dance and performance.

Our expert guide-storytellers provide fascinating tours of the auditorium, vividly recreating colourful stories of the 1599 Globe playhouse, the reconstruction process in the 1990s and how the ‘wooden O’ works today as an imaginative and experimental space for performance.
