“It never occurred to me while growing up that art is an industry involving countless jobs, so if this book helps shed light to just one kid that it is a viable career option, then it has done its job, as art is indescribably important!” —Oliver Jeffers, Artist and Illustrator “This book so beautifully explains to kids what goes into making an art exhibition. It’s not just about an artist hanging something on a wall for people to see: it’s so much more lively, layered, and community-driven. Even I learned a ton about what truly goes into a fantastic art show!” —Joy Cho, Author and Founder of Oh Joy! “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 An exciting insight into the workings of artists and museums, Making a Great Exhibition is a colorful and playful introduction geared to children ages 3-7 How does an artist make a sculpture or a painting? What tools do they use? What happens to the artwork next? This fun, inside look at the life of an artwork shows the journey of two artists’ work from studio to exhibition. Stopping along the way we meet colorful characters—curators, photographers, shippers, museum visitors, and more! Both illustrator and author were raised in the art world, spending their time in studios, doing homework in museum offices, and going to special openings. They have teamed up to share their experiences and love for this often mysterious world to a young audience. London-based illustrator Rose Blake is best known for her work in A History of Pictures for Children, by David Hockney and Martin Gayford, which has been a worldwide success. Author Doro Globus brings her love for the arts and kids together with this fun journey.

Very good album for kids to understand how an exhibit is organized. It's also a very colorful book, perfect to catch kids' attention.

Blame this one on the clock app. This book explains the jobs of a dozen museum employees. It's an informative book about “great“ exhibitions. We borrow or curate two exhibits each year at my work. It's me, my director & a couple of federal work study student employees (who are amazing). We can accomplish the work of a dozen!

RosePressedPages I‘m hoping to go into museum work and this is now on the top of my tbr! 4y
RebL @MadelineMcCrae That‘s so cool! Although this book only explores art museums, it does a solid job introducing multiple positions. I also really like the illustrations. Are you in school now? 4y
RosePressedPages @RebL Yes! I have two semesters left and am studying public history. I would still love to learn about art museums cause I love art history too!🥰 (edited) 4y
RebL @MadelineMcCrae Good luck! We are HEAVY users of natural history and science museums. My kids even did multiple camps at a philatelic museum! Museums are the best. 4y
