In Babar's Museum of Art, Laurent De Brunhoff features Babar and Celeste turning a beautiful old train station into a museum for their art collection, so that everyone in the kingdom of Celesteville can enjoy it. The works are clever elephantine interpretations of some of the greatest paintings in western art from the Renaissance to the 20th century. An elephantine Venus casts up memories of Botticelli while elephants enjoying a day in the park remind viewers of Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on the Island of la Grande Jatte. The Dixon Gallery and Gardens is proud to display over 35 works on paper, including preliminary sketches and de Brunhoff's original watercolors for the publication.
