Illustrations that bring your favorite children’s books to life with over 140 original works.

This exhibition features the original art of Dr. Seuss, Richard Scarry, Rosemary Wells, Hilary Knight, Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are and Garth Williams’ Stuart Little. Revisit classic illustrations of fondly remembered characters including Dick and Jane, Eloise, Madeline, The Cat in the Hat, and Babar.
