138 Russell St, Hadley“Just a step off the sidewalk &: you're in R.Michelson Galleries. An ever-changing display of art line the walls. My favorite is the children's book illustration show. Every year at the end of December to mid January the picture book pictures fill the walls & even the vault. This is an old bank repurposed. So many pictures, so many illustrations from talented artists. Walk around, I'm sure you will recognize one print then another. It might bring up memories of reading to your kids or having the book read to you. Prints are for sale, books are for sale. Maybe you just want to wander, relax, dream...just a step off the sidewalk.”
“As a former early childhood educator, I was familiar with Eric Carle but had never visited the Museum. A long over due visit with my grandchildren was a wonderful experience. The Museum offers a learning platform for all ages to grow, especially by utilizing using the Art Studio. I highly recommend the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art.”
“Would absolutely recommend this place! The atmosphere is so welcoming and comfortable. Tim does an amazing job and really takes his time with his art. Throughout the planning process he was always checking to be sure it was exactly what I wanted. My tattoo came out looking better than what I had envisioned and I couldn’t be happier with the end result!”
