Hide your honey and keep an eye out for Heffalumps – the 100 Acre Wood of A.A. Milne’s imagination is coming to the V&A for the U.K.’s largest ever exhibition on Winnie the Pooh.

Opening on 9 December, the exhibition aims to introduce a new generation to Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, and Christopher Robin by examining the real-life friendship shared by A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard. Almost 90 years since their first book was published, Winnie the Pooh: Exploring a Classic will trace the creative collaboration that continues to capture the public's imagination.

The museum will feature approximately 230 works from 1920 to the present day, ranging from original illustrations to artefacts from the Walt Disney Archives, showcasing the extensive career of a bear who loves to just do nothing.

Young visitors will be encouraged to get creative by participating in the exhibition’s interactive elements: Milne’s words will be transformed into 3-D poetry, and little ones can enter the wonderful world of Winnie the Pooh through storytelling trees and dressing up areas.

For true enthusiasts, the V&A Museum of Childhood will be launching a complimentary teddy bear display to coincide with Winnie the Pooh: Exploring Classic.
