Hands-On Tours: Wild Things April 16, 2010

Get a new perspective on an old favorite with this rumpus through Maurice Sendak's 'Where the Wild Things Are.' On this tour, visitors can re-discover Sendak's world-famous creations, the Wild Things, and his mischievous hero, Max, by safely handling original artifacts related to this Caldecott Award-winning children's book. Examine handwritten manuscripts of the story from Sendak's old notebooks, pass around original drawings of the beastly Wild Things, listen to the Wild Things sing in an opera from 1979, and follow the life of the Wild Things beyond the book. This tour is led by Patrick Rodgers, Traveling Exhibitions Coordinator at the Rosenbach.
