graduating from the prestigious Akademie der Bildenden K�nste in
Stuttgart, he fulfilled his dream of returning to New York.
Eric Carle received many distinguished awards and honours for his
work, including, in 2003, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award for his

Massachusetts. Here visitors of all ages can enjoy, in addition to
Eric Carle's work, original artwork by other distinguished
