Hetty features in five books, an Olivier Award-nominated stage show and a BAFTA-nominated CBBC television series.
The museum explores the history of the Foundling Hospital, the UK’s first children’s charity and first public art gallery, established in 1739 by the philanthropist Thomas Coram as ‘a hospital for the maintenance and education of exposed and deserted young children’.
Visitors can discover Hetty Feather through television props, rare archival items and immersive activities aimed at bringing the 19th century Foundling Hospital to life.
