The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art opened its doors in 2002 with a bold but simple vision: to ensure that picture-book illustration, as an art form, would be celebrated around the world. Since then, the Museum has been a tireless champion for picture book art, amassing a world-class collection of original illustrations and organizing exhibitions that travel the globe. Our education programs, which focus on the joys of art and books, have reached hundreds of thousands of children.
We are deeply fortunate that our founders, the late Eric Carle and Barbara Carle, made an unwavering commitment to the future of illustrated children’s literature.
