Golden Legacy: Original Art from 80 Years of Golden Books

September 6 – December 1, 2024 – Multiple Galleries

Experience the nostalgia of Little Golden Books with over sixty masterpieces of original illustrations from the Random House archives. Featured in the exhibition are pieces from beloved picture-book classics like The Poky Little Puppy, Tootle, Home for a Bunny, The Color Kittens, I Can Fly, and many more. Launched in 1942—the first full year of America’s involvement in the Second World War—Little Golden Books made high quality illustrated books available at affordable prices for the first time to millions of young children and their parents. The exhibition is organized by The National Center for Children’s Illustrated Literature, Abilene, Texas.
