Wild Things Are Happening!

February 11, 2023

Columbus Museum of Art comes alive with fun and playful experiences for the whole family to enjoy together. This year’s theme is inspired by Wild Things are Happening: The Art of Maurice Sendak. The exhibition is comprised of more than 150 sketches, storyboards, and paintings by Sendak drawn from the collection of The Maurice Sendak Foundation. Highlights include original work for Sendak’s most famous books: Where the Wild Things Are, In the Night Kitchen, and Outside Over There.

Evening highlights include collaborative LEGO® construction build, cardboard challenge, art-making in the Studio, DJ and dancing, and delicious dinner and dessert buffets. Plus a few surprises throughout the evening!

Wear your favorite party attire. Sparkles encouraged.
