Get a new perspective on an old favorite with this rumpus through Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are. On this tour audiences will rediscover Sendak’s world-famous creations, the Wild Things and his mischievous hero Max, by safely handling original artifacts from the Sendak collection. Examine 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 outside of the book. The tour will also feature an exclusive look at photos of Sendak’s family - those aunts and uncles who inspired the Wild Things - and a handwritten draft of Where the Wild Horses Are, Sendak’s earliest version of the story.

This tour is appropriate for ages 8 and up.
