About the Museum
All of the arts are so important for all people no matter their age. It is our common humanity.”Eric Carle
Situated on 7.5 acres in Amherst, Massachusetts, The Carle houses a rich collection of art, and illuminates its collection through exhibitions, education, programming, and art making—making it a critical resource for picture book artists and authors, and art-loving communities locally, nationally, and abroad. Since opening its doors in 2002, The Carle has welcomed more than one million visitors—plus more than four million additional museumgoers who have enjoyed its touring exhibitions around the world.
