“If you come and see us on our 100th birthday," said Frankie Kubicki, Director of the Charles Dickens Museum, "apart from paying nothing at the door, there is every chance that you will find yourself savouring the atmosphere in the room where Dickens wrote Oliver Twist alongside his great-great-great granddaughter, or sizing up Dickens’s writing desk and chair alongside the current head of the Dickens family. Our centenary exhibition is stuffed full of the Museum’s greatest hits, so there could be no better time to come and see the house where Charles Dickens became a star.”
Mark Dickens, a Patron of the Museum, added: “The descendants of Charles Dickens have always been closely involved in the Museum, a truly wonderful refurbishment of the first proper home he lived in as the early success of his writing took off. We are delighted to represent the family at this exciting and unique day and greatly look forward to hosting everyone.”
