CURRENT EXHIBITION: THE WAR TIME ESCAPE
Currently on display is “The War Time Escape: Margret and H. A. Rey’s Journey from France.” Margret and H. A. Rey, the creative duo behind the beloved Curious George children’s book series, faced a perilous escape from Nazi-occupied France, fraught with close calls and thrilling moments. Throughout their journey, they safeguarded the manuscript for the playful monkey that would later capture the hearts of many.
