Where every page holds a world of wonder
At the National Center for Children’s Illustrated Literature (NCCIL), we bring stories to life by partnering with award-winning illustrators to create one-of-a-kind exhibitions. These vibrant displays captivate visitors of all ages, showcasing the artistry behind beloved picture books. After debuting in our gallery, each exhibition embarks on a nationwide tour, reaching museums, public libraries, and galleries across the country.
