Shakespeare’s Globe Exhibition, open all year round, is the world’s largest exhibition devoted to the playwright and poet William Shakespeare and the City of London in which he dwelled.

Shakespeare’s Globe Exhibition is housed in a vast area beneath the actual theatre, the exhibition shows how Sam Wanamaker struggled to rebuild the Globe Theatre and bring William Shakespeare’s history and world to life. This is achieved using a wide range of interactive displays and live presentations.

See how special effects were produced in Shakespeare’s time or even join the cast and add your own voice to a scene played by actors. There is a theatrical sword-fighting display and you see a working printing press of the era in action.

Examine actors' Elizabethan clothing.

An exhibition visit and Globe Theatre tour lasts about an hour and a half.
