Dracula: The Making of a Monster
Exhibition for adults and kids alike!

This exhibition allows a first-hand look at the research and working notes that Stoker used in preparing the tale of terror. It also features a reading corner and costume area for younger visitors to learn about Dracula and the man who created him .
