Museum of Canterbury

Qui non ci sono stata, ma ci sarei voluta andare, per quanto non riesco a capire come si faccia ad abbinare il concetto di museo della città a 'museo dell'orsetto Rupert, e Bagpuss il gatto'. The Museum of Canterbury (formerly known as the Canterbury Heritage Museum) is located in Stour Street. It contains a range of exhibits bringing to life the whole of the town's history. This includes a museum dedicated to Rupert Bear, a children's character created by Mary Tourtel, who was born in Canterbury. There are also displays for Bagpuss: a pink and white cat made of cloth which was the main character in a popular children's TV series. Bagpuss was created in 1974 by an animator from Canterbury called Peter Firmin, who together with writer Oliver Postgate created TV characters such as the Clangers, Basil Brush, Ivor the Engine and Noggin The Nog (most British people who were parents or children in the 1960s or 1970s know these characters).
