Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art

The Eric Carle Museum displays three rotating galleries of picture book illustrations, including original artworks from international and national artists.

Founded in 2002 by author Eric Carle and his wife Barbara, the museum emerged from their experiences visiting picture book museums in Japan.

The museum organizes exhibitions focusing on diverse themes, including African American illustrators and Jewish picture book collections throughout the year.

The 40,000-square-foot facility contains a main hall, galleries, art studio, auditorium, café, and shop offering books and art supplies.

The museum features Bobbie's Meadow, an outdoor wildflower garden created to honor the memory of Barbara Carle.
