Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art
The mission of The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art is to inspire, especially in children and their families, an appreciation for and an understanding of the art of the picture book.
The museum’s 40,000-square-foot building houses three galleries dedicated to rotating exhibitions of picture book art from around the world; a hands-on art studio for creating masterpieces of one’s own; an auditorium for performances, films, and lectures; a comfortable library for reading and storytelling; a café serving simple and delicious fare; and a museum shop stocked with creative gifts and old and new picture book favorites.
Although the museum is not operated by Hampshire, student work opportunities are available. The museum is free to Hampshire students!
