DESCRIPTION
50 Individual passes good for two people each are now available to Circles members to the Skirball Cultural Center’s newest exhibition “Monsters and Miracles.”

Note that the one item per month limit applies to this offer.

An engaging and whimsical new exhibition, Monsters and Miracles explores the cultural roots of the Jewish picture book and celebrates the joy of reading. Showcasing more than 100 illustrations and texts from time-honored classics and popular favorites, this new exhibition guides audiences through the colorful history of the Jewish picture book, from the sixteenth century to the present. On display are original works of art sure to inspire wonder—paintings, drawings, computer-generated images, papercuts, and collage—and an eclectic collection of texts, from illuminated Haggadot to Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are to Lemony Snicket’s The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming: A Christmas Story. Other featured authors and artists include Arnold Lobel, Daniel Pinkwater, Mark Podwal, Francine Prose, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Art Spiegelman, and William Steig, as well as luminaries Marc Chagall, El Lissitzky, and Ze’ev Raban.

Special interactive stations—Kick back and have fun at interactive stations designed especially for booklovers young and old. “Make a monster” using vibrant art materials; slip on headphones to hear celebrities such as Mayim Bialik, Allison Janney, Tony Kushner, and Henry Winkler read their favorite tales; and more!
