The Children’s Illustration Museum offers an immersion in the world of book illustration and more particularly children’s books from the 19th century to the present day. Its large collection of original illustrations (nearly 4,500 pieces from more than thirty illustrators) makes it an exceptional place. The route allows you to discover the history of illustration and creative techniques, supplemented by temporary exhibitions.

Scrogneugneu
This exhibition pays tribute to the author Philippe Corentin, who died in 2022 at the age of 86, and immerses us in his very particular world.
Smacking heads, Papa, Miss save-who-can, The ogre, the wolf, the little girl and the cake, Splash!, Thing owl, Zigomar doesn’t like vegetables…and so many others.
In Philippe Corentin’s albums, there is a Santa Claus who decides to shrink, Swiss German beetles who ask flies for the address of a pastry shop, moorhens taken for sissies, a stupid dog from a good omen, a big baba full of rum, chocolate éclairs on the high seas, a pickle machine gun, an author-illustrator who asks his publisher for money…
Stories in which there are rabbits playing to scare each other, crushed strawberry-colored piglets… And most often a wolf !
It makes no sense !
from december 16, 2023 to june 16, 2024
