Eric Carle Museum
Dec. 3rd, 2010 01:38 pmBack from Northampton! I had a lovely trip, even though Emily Dickinson's house was CLOSED, woe (perhaps she had something against Tuesdays?). I'll simply have to go back. Possibly next summer. Road trip up the East Coast?
The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art was open and it was AMAZING. If I went to Hampshire (the college by the museum) I would walk on broken glass to work there. It's a museum about ART! And BOOKS! And CHILDREN'S LITERATURE!
And they have an amazing bookstore: more children's books (picture books but also chapter books) than Barnes & Noble, in half the space, with room left over for stuffed animals. (Barnes & Noble seems to be moving toward a "tons of copies of a few popular books" business plan. I do not approve.)
Photos!
