Maurice Sendak's Original Drawings for Where the Wild Things Are
April 6 - June 29, 2003
Let the Wild Rumpus Start! is the first show ever to display
all of the original drawings for Where the Wild Things Are. The exhibition
also offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the creation process,
featuring Maurice Sendak's preliminary sketches and ‘dummy’
books, alternate drawings, manuscripts and proof materials, many of
which have never before been exhibited. Sendak's own comments on his
work provides a unique perspective for old and new fans of Where the
Wild Things Are. Let the Wild Rumpus Start!, presented by HarperCollins
Publishers, is produced to celebrate the Rosenbach Museum & Library's
grand re-opening following an extensive two-year renovation and expansion
project. Click here for related programs and events.
