Shaun the Sheep: Flock This Way!, an interactive exhibit based on the popular film and television character, will open at The Reading Public Museum on Saturday, May 16 and run through September 6, 2026. This exciting exhibit was created by Minnesota Children\u2019s Museum in partnership with Aardman and is generously sponsored locally by the Berks County Community Foundation.<\/p>\n
In this hands-on exhibit, visitors explore the antics of Shaun the Sheep and his pals on Mossy Bottom Farm. Designed for children ages 3 through 9, Shaun the Sheep: Flock This Way! builds on problem-solving themes in fun, engaging ways. Exhibit components and activities encourage children to playfully explore themes around strategic thinking and resilience in a safe and lighthearted manner.<\/p>\n
