HayleyMarch 23, 2015Amazing museum for picture book art. If you want to see familiar art in its original glory, stop in. Also there's a fantastic in-house library and art room.
EvaDecember 19, 2014Great for kids and for adults. Beautiful building and a shop where you might spend a lot of money! Loved it.
Gail KlanchesserJuly 23, 2013This place is a gem! Small, but art is amazing. Staff was friendly. Kids loved the art room where they could create their own art. Auditorium and movie were great!

Stuart GlenJuly 5, 2011Wonderful, magical, inspirational. Kids could have spent all afternoon in the art studio. But be aware - no on-site food outlet, so bring your own picnic.- Raenell NagelApril 6, 2013Some original/limited edition art for sale in the gift shop. One of my favorite museums to date!
- Check out the art studio, make a project and learn something new!
Chris B.July 22, 2010Make sure to ask a docent about Eric's youth in Germany. It's an interesting story.

"After two visits, I can confidently say this place is incredible. Tour guides provide unique, detailed, fascinating information about Emily, et al, and the preservation work is a sight to behold too."

"If you want to learn some mamaloshen, pick up an antique Yiddish beginner's textbook, rather than a reprint in the bookstore. It'll have that old book smell and probably some notes pre-written, too."
