Shakespeare Trail: All the World's a Stage

Follow this trail to explore the British Galleries through a Shakespearean lens. Take this self-led trail to discover ‘a little western flower’ like the magical one in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a precious jewel, mermaids and the famous Great Bed of Ware mentioned in Twelfth Night. 

Along the way, enter the cinema room and watch a documentary by the German Theatre Museum that captures the creative processes behind the scenes of Elsa-Sophie Jach’s 2025 production of Romeo and Juliet for the Residenztheater, Munich.
