How is the Museum like / unlike a childrens museum?
While the Museum does not feature the type of interactive exhibits found in a children’s museum, there are a variety of activities which encourage the enjoyment and appreciation of art. The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art is an art museum for visitors of all ages. To that end the Museum creates educational opportunities and experiences which accommodate a wide range of developmental abilities and learning styles. Through celebrating the art of the picture book, the Museum offers a potent menu of looking [the galleries], film, performances, and lectures [the auditorium], reflection [the library], and creation [the art studio].
