Reviews

"Making a Great Exhibition is a book that every art-loving kid (and parent) will want to have at home. The beautiful illustrations transform the people who work in a museum into superheroes, who will inspire the next generation of creatives. With tons of little details, the book offers endless things for kids to look at and learn, meaning that the book will grow along with them."--Jessica Stewart, My Modern Met

"I absolutely love it! I was a big fan of Richard Scarry's What Do People Do All Day--must have read it one thousand times to my son when he was little. This seems to take some of that wonderful spirit, and has just as much charm. Right now, when there are so many obstacles being thrown in the way of young people getting involved in the arts, this book could not be more timely. It looks like just the invitation into the world of art that might make a real difference. Bravo! It would be great to see one in every primary school in the country."--Caroline Douglas, Director, Contemporary Art Society

"I wish I'd had this book when I was a kid! I always wanted my art to be in a big museum one day but, growing up in a small town, that just seemed impossible. Making a Great Exhibition is a beautifully illustrated behind-the-scenes peek at exactly how art makes its way from an artist's mind to the big white walls of a fancy gallery. Turns out, there are a lot of people, with some very cool jobs, who make the magic happen--and any book that shows kids (and parents!) they can grow up to have a career in the arts is okay by me!"--Danielle Krysa "The Jealous Curator"
