This summer, the Willis Museum & Sainsbury Gallery is proud to present Michael Rosen: The Illustrators, a brand new exhibition curated by the Heath Robsinson Museum, exploring Michael Rosen’s books and the many talented artists who have illustrated them throughout his 50 year career.
From grizzly bears to grumpy teachers, meet a whacky cast of characters and enter the wonderful world of Michael Rosen’s imagination. Featuring illustrators such as Quentin Blake, Helen Oxenbury, Chris Riddell, and many more, learn how artists interpret poems, rhymes and stories. See watercolour, ink, and collage artworks in person – as well as early drafts, sketches and ideas shown alongside text from Michael Rosen’s books.
