Museum in a Book

Museum in a Book Synopsis

From Hervé Tullet, the New York Times bestselling creator of Press Here, Museum in a Book invites young and old to unleash their creativity! At once an endlessly playful tabletop exhibition and a hands-on guide to enable one and all to create their very own art, this book is a physical kaleidoscope of the imagination. Using only his favorite tools—four bold colors, a brush, sheets of paper, and a pair of scissors—and applying a few straightforward principles and directions from his revolutionary art-making project, The Ideal Exhibition, Hervé provides simple instructions to create art that can be used to fill a huge space . . . or squeezed into a matchbox. But the best expression of Hervé’s prodigious creativity is this book itself: An interactive marvel that readers will arrange and rearrange in a dazzling display of shapes, colors, and patterns. INTERACTIVE PLAY: Fold, unfold, arrange and rearrange, insert, pull up, and so much more to create a deeply satisfying activity that nurtures the imagination. This compact and compelling book brings Hervé’s art to every home. BESTSELLING CREATOR: Hervé Tullet is the New York Times bestselling author of Press Here, Mix It Up, and over eighty books that have been translated into scores of languages.
