Jake and Dinos Chapman Kids’ Exhibition

The Whitechapel Gallery has been transformed by artists Jake and Dinos Chapman into a space for families to delight in the macabre.

Kids will love the modern-day fairytales told in poetry and illustrated with fantastical drawings.

The show includes work from Jake and Dinos Chapman’s forthcoming book, Bedtime Tales for Sleepless Nights, and prints from the Gigantic Fun series.

The exhibition is accompanied by the artists’ colouring book, which is on sale at the gallery for £4.95.
