Museums, Est. 2002
The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art is situated in Amherst, Massachusetts. It was founded by Eric Carle, a renowned author and illustrator. He wrote more than 70 books including the 1969 classic “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” which has been published in more than 30 languages. The 40,000-square-foot museum is devoted to national and international picture book art and was opened to the public in November 2002. It collects, exhibits, preserves, and interprets picture book art from around the world. Located in a 7.5-acre apple orchard adjacent to the campus of Hampshire College, the museum houses the works of Dr. Seuss, Maurice Sendak, and its creator. More than 70 picture books of Carle are displayed in the museum. Their mission is to foster connections between visual and verbal literacy, and to provide visitors of all ages and backgrounds with the confidence to appreciate and enjoy art of every kind. The museum has three galleries dedicated to rotating exhibitions. It also houses a hands-on art studio, an auditorium for performances and lectures, a comfortable library for reading and storytelling, a cafe serving simple and delicious food, and a museum shop stocked with creative gifts and old and new picture book favorites. Food and beverages, photography, bags, pens and markers are not permitted in the galleries. Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas.
