Museum in a Book: An Ideal Exhibition―Explore, Play, Create

From Hervé Tullet, the New York Times bestselling creator of Press HereMuseum 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 favourite 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, colours, and patterns.
