February 8 through October 26, 2003

More than four generations of children have eagerly followed the adventures of the Berenstain Bears, and have learned about life in the process. Now, for the first time, a major museum exhibition showcases the work of the series' prolific creators in the Norman Rockwell Museum's presentation of The Berenstain Bears Celebrate: The Art of Stan and Jan Berenstain.

The exhibition explores the couple's evolution as artists and focuses on the development of their popular Berenstain Bears family. The exhibit will include examples of some of the Berenstains' earliest children's books and magazine illustrations, as well as several interactive displays for children.

From their early stint as gag cartoonists to their career-making turn as childrens' book illustrators- learn more about the evolution of Stan and Jan's unique artistic partnership with selected highlights from the exhibition!
