What is Matthew's Dream about?

Matthew the mouse lives in a gloomy attic, surrounded by dust and dull, forgotten things. When he visits a museum, he discovers the wonderful world of art and begins to see beauty everywhere. Inspired by the paintings, Matthew gathers his brushes and sets out to create pictures filled with colour, shapes and happiness. As his imagination grows, he learns that even the dreariest place can look different when viewed with curiosity and an artist’s eye.
