THE POWER OF MAKE BELIEVE
It ’ s said that , as we grow , our creativity dwindles . But even adults are encouraged to use their imaginations at the Museum of Make Believe , which is making its way permanently to Laguna Beach this year . Aiming to open in the next few months , it will be the first official space for founders Geoff and Amy Mitchell , who have already been hosting pop-up storytelling exhibits in Orange County . The inaugural exhibit , titled “ Ghost Stories and Fairy Tales ,” will offer a glimpse into what the museum plans to offer , incorporating everything from written stories , paintings and a room of miniatures in a mystical forest to a vintage circus tent that allows visitors to step back in time . “ Everything will be created by hand , touched by an artist , rather than relying on digital screens or apps ,” Amy notes . “ The exhibit is meant to take guests back to a time when their imagination was the strongest — for example , the way an old cardboard box could transform into an airship just from believing it to be . We could all use more of that in our lives .” Donations are being accepted through givebutter . com ; about 20 % of the museum ’ s $ 250,000 goal has been met , but the Mitchells plan to open the museum even if the full amount is not raised in time .
