Where The Wild Things Are

Maurice Sendak In His Own Words and Pictures

This interactive exhibition has returned to Atlanta with a new focus on literacy. It brings the stories and characters of Maurice Sendak to life and includes activities where visitors are encouraged to dress up like a wild thing and dance in the wild forest, slide into a bowl of chicken soup with rice complete with stuffed carrots and rubber chickens, and pick one of many of Sendak’s books to read on Rosie’s Stoop.

Younger children can explore all the wild thing characters, while older children can learn all about how sketches and drawings are turned into published works.
