Is the Museum devoted exclusively to the art of Eric Carle?
No. While it carries the name of its founder, Eric Carle, and will always include an exhibition of his work in one of its three galleries, the Museum is devoted to collecting, and presenting national and international picture book art and artists. In its inaugural year, for example, the Museum exhibited the work of Maurice Sendak, Robert Ingpen, Nancy Eckholm Burkert, Mitsumasa Anno, Leo Lionni, Ashley Bryan, and the art of Russian children’s books.
