Details:
The Robert McCloskey Wonder Works Museum will become the nonprofit in residence at Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum for an 18-month period. This partnership will bring two exhibitions to Pyramid Hills Gallery Museum, celebrating the life and work of Robert McCloskey, one of Americas most beloved childrens book authors and illustrators, and a city of Hamilton native.
The first exhibition will focus on McCloskeys deep Hamilton roots and how his early life shaped his career. It will feature original sketches, illustrations, and personal materials, highlighting artwork from Lentil, McCloskeys first published book, set in Hamilton, Ohio.
The second exhibition will focus on McCloskeys passion for environmental conservation, his attention to the small wonders of the natural world and his dedication to draftsmanship and design.
