The Mazza Museum
Last week I visited the Mazza Musuem at Findlay University. It is the first and largest teaching museum of original children’s book art in the world. The mission of the Mazza Museum is to promote literacy through its educational programs and to collect, exhibit & preserve original art from children’s book. It features five rooms of art, illustrations, and books. The museum has a “children only!” reading area and even a vaulted high tech “bomb shelter” room for housing the more valuable pieces in the collection.
Check out the pictures from my adventure below!
