Storyworld: how does a story take visual form?

Comics, animation and games tell stories through images, but each does so in a different way. Storyworld in Forum Groningen lets you look at how those stories are made.

Plan your visit ↗

Follow a comic page

The museum information mentions original sketches and comic pages, with names such as Asterix, Storm, Batman and Douwe Dabbert. First look at a page as a whole: how do you know where to start and what comes next?

Between image and movement

Animation and games are also part of Storyworld’s subject. Compare what holds your attention: a still detail, a movement or an action you carry out yourself. The differences make for good questions about the displays.

From looking to understanding

You don’t need to be an illustrator or a gamer to explore a visual story. Choose one excerpt that you understand without reading the explanation. What clues do the images give you?

Before you go

Storyworld is on the sixth floor of the Forum. Check its own visiting hours; the building may be open for longer.
