The three-month long pop-up will also stock a selection of limited-edition products, including Year of the Rabbit-themed merchandise within a space designed to reflect Dick Bruna’s signature colours and artistry.
The pop-up will also feature a range of experiences, from a Miffy costume character during special meet and greet gatherings to greet guests on arrival, to a giant Miffy-themed lamp and a picture frame for photo opportunities.
